The Toast of London
Perry Okerstrom

	You are cordially invited to the presentation of 
	noted psychic Victor Neuberg at the Seventh Annual 
	Psychic Circle this August, the 23rd. All members of 
	the Golden Dawn and London Occultist Elite are 
	invited to attend.

	Mr Neuberg is noted for his natural talent in the 
	art of spiritualism. Reading will commence at 8:00pm 
	sharp. Refreshments to follow.

	Tomes and herbs to be sold.     R.S.V.P.

	Investigators with the right connections will receive the 
above invitation. At the meeting dozens of London's rich elite will be 
there. This is an ideal time for the investigators to establish a 
number of excellent contacts, and new clients.
	Note: Victor Neuberg was a medium and conjuror, and a genuine 
member of the Golden Dawn.

Possibilities
1       Neuberg is a fabulous fake. He is very flamboyant and every 
spectacle he produces is designed to milk money from the unsuspecting 
public. His illusions look to be completely realistic but are 
accomplished using slight of hand and expensive magician's props.

2       The magic tomes offered for sale seem to contain genuine magic 
formulae but are all flash and no substance. The Psychic Circle does 
own some dangerous works, but these are kept under lock and key.

3       In his effort to impress, Neuberg accidentally summons 
something a little too powerful during his act. The demon, happy to be 
in the material world, pushes Neuberg's mind aside and takes control 
of his body. Nobody is aware of this fact. Not at first.
