Empire (Sydney) April 27, 1857

GLEBE! GLEBE! GLEBE!! Great Attraction on MONDAY EVENING, April 27th, at the UNIVERSITY HOTEL. The Great Wizard, M.FRANZHEIM, in numberless Tricks of Magic, after which Mr. J. S. WALTON will exhibit his new and attractive Panorama of Sea and Land, or 16,000 miles from Home. First time in Sydney. Doors open at half-past 7, to commence at 8 sharp. Front Seat, 2s.; Back Seats, 1s. Vivat Regina.

Mr J. S. Walton wishes to dispose of his Panorama and all its apparatus. A chance seldom offered to the public. For particulars, apply at No. 2 Lazarus's buildings, Francis-street Glebe; or This Evening at the Hotel.

During June 1859, Toogood's Salon advertised an anonymous "Wizard" appearing regularly. Given Franzheim's named appearances at Toogood's the next year, it is likely to have been him.

Messrs.Franzheim and Webster's first drawing-room entertainment took place on Saturday evening, at the Queen's Hotel, but the attendance, we regret to say, was by no means large, although the charges for admission were fixed to suit the times. Many of the card tricks were unusually good, and the performance throughout of an average character. Pocket handkerchiefs, that were apparently securely fixed in little boxes, were, by the magic wand of the Professor, sent flying into the centre of a two-pound loaf, whilst a clip of corn, by some mysterious process, was changed instanter into a jug of hot coffee. Those, and many other tricks of a similar nature, kept the audience amused for several hours. A few comic-songs by Mr. Webster gave variety tot he programme, and at the close those who thought proper, had an opportunity of receiving a shook from a galvanic battery, of which a great- many availed themselves. The second entertainment took place last night, in the building formerly known as the Keira Theatre, and the attendance was much larger than on Saturday. It is, we believe, the intention of Professor Franzheim, to give another performance this evening, at the same place, and we would recommend those who wish to to witness the marvels of magic, or to derive the benefit of a galvanic shock to make a point of attending.
