GENERAL CIGAR HALL OF MAGIC OFFERS GIANT SMOKE RINGS, MAGIC
AND SPORTS MOVIES TO THRONGS AT WORLD'S FAIR
One of the World's Fair's most popular exhibits - the General
Cigar Hall of Magic - offers a continuous live magic show, thrilling
sports action movies and other exhibits to the throngs attracted
by its unusual landmark - machine lofting giant smoke rings high
above the Fair. There is no admission charge. The magic show -
created and narrated by television's renowned wizard Mark Wilson
- plays three times an hour in an ultra-modern Magic theatre,
and includes such classic thrillers as sawing a woman in half
and levitation. The films of sports including boxing, sky diving
and baseball were shot from overhead with a special camera and
are projected onto a sunken screen to give a feeling of immediate
participation.
