From tHe "Nonrm-Cumwa Dany News," or SEPTEMBER 21, 1877
The Royal Illusionist were honoured with a well filled house on the occasion of their second performance at the Lyceum Theatre on Wednesday evening. The performance was in all respects the same as that given on their first appearance, the only distinction being, if there was any difference at all, that in some instances the tricks of legerdemain by Keller were more neatly performed and elicited heartier outburst of appreciation. The cabinet seance, and the exhibitions by Yamadeva and Ling Look were all very successful and caused" much fun and astonishment. Undoubtedly the troupe stands high in the estimation of everybody who has visited their performances, for but one opinion has been generally expressed—that the performers are wonderfully clever, and the mystery is how they manage to accomplish what they do, They are advertised to appear in Hongkong the first week in October, and they leave here, we believe, by the next English mail, so that all who have not yet seen them had better then avail themselves of an early opportunity. Their next performance takes place this evening.
