Lords and ladies, demons and devils, clerics and clergy,
come ye near! Watch and hear from depths of soul to mounds of
gold, discover thy truth of what ye are searching. This be ye
fest, Huzzah, this be ye life, Huzzah, and what an event it is,
Huzzah!!!
It would seem that when one thinks about the renaissance era,
several images come into the imagination, whether it be knights
on horseback, damsels in distress, archery tournaments, large
feasts, strolling minstrels, or the more fanciful images of fire-breathing dragons, wizards and the magic that all these bring to
mind.
Wizards and magicians seem to be mainstays at renaissance fairs.
However, modern magic, of large glittered-painted boxes have no place upon a renaissance stage. They offer
nothing but the trappings of a low budget Vegas review. The magic
generally performed during that period of history was considered
to be more of juggling feats rather than the enchantment of
contemporary conjurers, for if one attempted anything more, they
would be charged and convicted of being in league with the
devil.
William knows that when people experience a magical performance,
especially one that was to take place in the renaissance-time
period, they want to see not only what was done but what is
expected to be done, whether it be feats of strength and clever
dexterity or a glimpse into a world of secret rituals, the
utterance of words in unusual languages or anything that would
suggest communications with other realities. Nothing less would
suffice.
If you are looking for a bit of solid old-world wizardry that not only gives reverence to the
past but also presents a preverbial tip of the hat to those who
want to experience a glimpse into the world of what is imagined
to have taken place and involves all present, then look no further than William Corey.
