Through the clever use of illusions and stage magic, the audience will witness the techniques used by mediums and mentalists of the period.

Ticket sales and check-in: To sell tickets to the event for those that have not yet purchased and check in anyone who has already purchased tickets. These staff will be located at a table in front of the auditorium. They will hand out souvenir tickets and stamp hands for entry.
Gatekeeper: To float around the lobby to answer questions for visitors and help with crowd control and checking tickets. This position is a utility player.
Ushers/performance: To direct guests to seats and to stand inside the theater with flashlights in case of emergency. As the show is ending, they will direct guests out of the theater through the side door. These staff may also be needed for certain effects during the show.
