DRIVER, THE GREAT MAGICIAN.

In the Town. Hall on Thursday evening .next, Driver, the famous magician and exposer of spirit rnysteriies, will present his celebrated entertainment of magic and antispiritualism. Mr Driver is the magician who challenged Bailey, the Bpirit medium, for £100 some time ago in Wellington, and ever since ho crossed swords with him he, has had the sympathy and support of the public, and has been greeted with packed houses in every town he lias visited. The Press are unanimous1 in proclaiming Mr Driver's present enteitainment the best of its kind ever. fvt>en in the Dominion, and he has established himself as one of the most ■wonder-working "white magicians" on the stage. By most expert conjuring ho can produce "apports," and dp all and more than any spiritualistic medium ever did. In fact, there are many who maintain that Driver is really a spiritualistic medium of extraordinary powcyr, and secures Ms marvellous performances by help from "controls." This Mr Driver denies, and declares that the whole of the "manifestations" are purely the result of expert trickery. He is in fact an up^to-date conjuror who gives an entertainment Avorth a .great deal /of trouble to witness. Mr Driver will be,assisted by Mile. M. Rene in his illusions, and altogether a bright and mysterious night's amusement is in store for these- attending the Town Hall on Thursday evening next.'
