London's history of trickery
Marvel as Wellcome Library's Ross MacFarlane pulls back the curtain on the city's history of conjuring, enchantment and magic shows from Bartholomew fair onwards.
Gasp as the Magic Circle Museum's curator Jonathan Allen reveals the secrets of some of the items in the collection, the Austin Spare tarot, the Kinora film reels, magic money machines and card-finding ducks...
Ross Macfarlane is Research Engagement Officer at the Wellcome Library, He has researched, lectured and written on such topics as the history of early recorded sound, freak shows and notions of urban folklore in Edwardian London. He has led guided walks around London on the occult past of Bloomsbury and on the intersection of medicine, science and trade in Greenwich and Deptford.
Jonathan Allen is a London-based artist and writer best known for his work addressing the politics of enchantment and various magics at play within contemporary culture. Allen is a curator at London's Magic Circle Museum where he recently recovered a forgotten cartomancy deck hand-painted circa 1906 by the English artist and mystic Austin Osman Spare. His subsequent book Lost Envoy (Strange Attractor, 2016) is distributed by MIT Press.
