Lost theatres, fascinating real-life magic tales and sparkly anecdotes make this 1.5 hour tour a real treat: a relaxing and entertaining experience which will leave you happy and full of wonder.
I will tell you about the real Nicolas Flamel and his quest for alchemy, the subversive history of the Top Hat, and the real-life witches who inspired the great William Shakespeare.
