SUMMARY:The Golden Age of Magic - Spiritualism and 19th Century Illusions
DESCRIPTION:Join professional illusionist and magic historian Michael Cantori for a deep dive into spiritualism\, seances\, and 19th-century illusions. \nMagician Michael Cantori \nTravel back in time with illusionist Michael Cantori for a lecture\, demonstration\, and performance that will leave you amazed\, enlightened\, and attempting to communicate with your ancestors long since departed. \nWe will wind our way through tales of magic and spiritualism in the late 19th-century\, long thought of as the “Golden Age of Magic.” There will be talk of the Fox Sisters’ mysterious rappings\, Houdini’s own complicated relationship with spiritualism\, and how to experiment on your own with friends and family—departed or otherwise. \nLocally-raised\, Cantori is a full-time illusionist who crafts and designs his own magical apparatuses that he also provides to some of the finest craftspeople in the world. He’s written books and taught graduate level courses on the history of magic. As a performer\, he’s showcased his skills for senators\, royalty\, and rock stars. \nThis event takes place at the Clara Barton Missing Soldiers Office\, the one-time home and office of American Red Cross founder Clara Barton. Barton was herself a believer in spiritualism and often spoke of communicating with deceased loved ones while living in this boardinghouse on 7th Street. \nADDITIONAL DETAILS:\n\nThere are two performance times for this event\, 5:00 pm & 6:30 pm. Your ticket grants you entry only to the performance time that you’ve selected.\nThis event is interactive! There will be chances for the audience to help Cantori demonstrate effects and tricks.\nThis event is easily accessible via public transportation. It’s a three-minute walk from the Archives/Navy Memorial station on Metro’s yellow line and a nine-minute walk from Metro Center station on the red\, orange\, blue\, and silver lines.\nFor those choosing to drive\, metered street parking is available but can be extremely difficult to find. If you plan to drive\, please give yourself ample time to locate parking in the area around Capital One Arena.\n\nTickets are sold out for this event\nQUESTIONS?\nEmail Matt Blitz at matt@atlasobscura.com \nAdvance tickets only. All sales final. No refunds or exchanges.

SUMMARY:Cut It Off! An Amputation Demonstration at the Missing Soldiers Office
DESCRIPTION:The Missing Soldiers Office is partnering with Atlas Obscura to explore the history of amputations and the American Civil War.  \n \nJake Wynn\, a Civil War medical historian from the National Museum of Civil War Medicine\, will demonstrate Civil War era amputation techniques using a gel leg using authentic 19th-century tools. The leg\, made from a forensic gel and simulated bone\, looks\, feels\, and even sounds remarkably like the real thing. \nMuseum staff will also bring some bone saws\, Minié balls\, medical kits and other objects related to the history of amputation for us to view. They will be on hand to answer your questions about surgery in the pre-antiseptic\, pre-antibiotic era in Washington’s Civil War hospitals. \nWynn will also discuss the medical treatment administered to the tens of thousands of refugees\, many of whom were escaping slavery\, who arrived in Washington during the Civil War. They were housed in several “contraband camps” in the vicinity of the nation’s capital and the medical care they received differed significantly from that given to wounded and sick soldiers. \nOur program will also include a brief tour of the Missing Soldiers Office and the story of how the building was saved from destruction in the 1990s—a tale that has its own ghostly climax. \nADDITIONAL DETAILS:\nPhotographs are encouraged\, but flash photography is not allowed.\nThis event is easily accessible via public transportation. It’s a three-minute walk from the Archives/Navy Memorial station on Metro’s yellow line and a nine-minute walk from Metro Center station on the red\, orange\, blue\, and silver lines.\nFor those choosing to drive\, metered street parking is available but can be extremely difficult to find. If you plan to drive\, please give yourself ample time to locate parking in the area around Capital One Arena.\nWhile not bloody\, this event does focus on a gory and violent subject with a realistic simulation. We recommend none under the age of 13 attend this event. \nGet Your Tickets Here
