About
London, December 1920: It had never been done before; a small-time magician stood on the stage of St. George's Hall in front of a handful of influential booking agents.
The magician, P. T. Selbit, carefully tied an assistant into a pine box, methodically sectioned the box with sheets of glass and steel, and paused. Then he picked up a saw and tore through the center of the box, sawing the woman in half and ensuring his fame in the process.
For two nights only, the James J. Hill House will present, live, the ultimate of illusions: the Selbit Sawing with artist and performer Michael Callahan.
This program starts at 7, 8, and 9 pm and is suitable for age 18 and up.
