CZERNY.

The notable magician, illusionist and professional dealer in magic generally, Czerny, will make his appearance for the first time in Cambridge at the Alexandra Hall on Wednesday evening next, under the management of Mr William Anderson. Czerny is said to bring a budget of necromantic marvels that would in the middle ages have assured for him a short shift at the stake. Included in the entertainment will be the latest development of the bioscope—the tableauscope. The films are reported to be one and all of great human interest, and quite up-to-date. The Wellington Evening Post speaking of Czerny said“ Czerny is billed as Prince of Prestidigitateurs. The title is imposing, but the artist is of a calibre in keeping with his professions. He quickly won the approval of his large audience, and when the curtain was finally rung down at a quarter to eleven o’clock he had thoroughly won the wonder and admiration of them all. Undoubtedly Czerny is on the highest plane of legerdemain. All his tricks are marked by a manipulation, a ne plus ultra of dexterity, that betokens the true artist, and bespeaks the rapt attention of the most critical. There is nothing of the “ onestring fiddler” in the entertainment: Czerny’s legerdemain and necromancy are varied indeed, while as additional attractions he has a surpassing capacity for feats of memory.” Popular prices are announced, and seats may be booked at Mrs Linzey’s.
