There's sorcery everywhere on the vast stage of EFX. Merlin does battle with Morgana--she with her six-ton mechanical dragon, he with an even more gigantic fire breather. From beyond the grave Harry Houdini romances his wife with a misty melody and a huge set that flies away in a spectral swooosh! H.G. Wells zips through the centuries in his Time Machine and escapes the clutches of the dreaded Morlocks in a getaway that puts the Miss Saigon helicopter to shame.
