In Séance Magic, J. Michael Mormino opens his collection of haunted relics and classical séance tools to invite the past to speak again.
It’s at the audience’s hands that the stories turn strange: where the spirit board spells out hidden secrets, the tarot reveals the spirits’ will and the spirit bell rings untouched.
Séance Magic is an interactive, storytelling-based performance that blends illusion, theater, and audience participation. Instead of gaudy stage tricks or incessant card routines, each piece unfolds like a living ghost story: a mystery that comes to life in the hands of the audience.
Objects move, messages appear, and impossible events occur using authentic-looking séance artifacts and psychological illusions. Every participant becomes part of the narrative, helping to reveal the “spirit” of each story — sometimes literally.
Crafted for intelligent, curious audiences, Séance Magic delivers the thrill of the unexplained in an atmosphere that feels both intimate and unforgettable. It’s a perfect fit for private gatherings, corporate events, and audiences who appreciate mystery, history, and a touch of the uncanny.
J. Michael Mormino has spent decades walking the world’s thresholds: the catacombs beneath the streets of Paris, through the necropolis of Père Lachaise cemetery, alongside legendary paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, and into the hushed parlors of America’s most haunted cities including cypress-strewn Savannah, Georgia.
These encounters shape Séance Magic: a theatrical séance where fiction and folklore intertwine, and the spirits of story answer his call. Mormino doesn’t claim to summon the dead — only to stand close enough to their memory that sometimes, the air begins to move.
