Magic
and Medicine is Dr. Ralph Mackintosh's unique one man show that
traces the intertwining history of the magical arts and the
healing arts. From primitive man's first herbs to the ritual
rites of the pagan temples, magic has had a close alliance with
medicine.
Using
video projections and examples of magic of the eras, history
comes alive in a fascinating and informative presentation. Intriguing
displays of sleight-of-hand and illusion transport the audience
from the time of the early priest-healer-magi to the alchemists
of the middle ages and on to the patent medicine shows of the
1900's.
