Issac Fawkes is widely regarded as one of the finest conjurors in all of the British Empire. His acute dexterity of hand has created such a reputation for him that his annual appearances at the highly popular Bartholomew Fair are always packed with citizens from across the land. His services do not come at a modest price as he is great demand for both private and public appearances, and can fill his purse much more readily when engaged publicly. But he promises to include in his private appearances all the tricks which have made him famous and his booth at the Fair well visited. Spectators will witness his juggling with the cups and balls, the famed egg and bag trick, and conjuring with birds and other small, live animals. As an interlude, Fawkes will include the performance of a posture artist in the midst of his show. This attraction comes at no extra charge to the high bidder of this auction - it is, as they say, all part of the show. The posture artist's contortions are charming and inoffensive, and make for a perfect break in the magician's exhibition, which, though fascinating and confounding, is best broken up by some sort of alternate amusement. For an additional fee (which must be discussed with Mr. Fawkes himself, and privately), the conjuror will be happy to teach interested parties some simple conjuring tricks that they may use to amuse members of the "uninitiated" set. Fawkes performances are guaranteed to be accomplished by completely natural means, are clean, above board, and have been proven to be by years of experience at the Fair. Fawkes will be the hit of your next social engagement. His services are well worth the extra coinage required to secure his services.
