As the moon casts an eerie glow over the dark forest, a haunting witch emerges from the depths of her lair. Her gnarled fingers curl around her broomstick as she takes to the sky, cackling with a malevolent delight. The sound of her laughter, echoing through the night, sends chills down the spines of all who hear it. It is a sound that embodies wickedness, a sinister melody that lingers in the air long after she has disappeared into the shadows. The haunting witch cackles with a power that is both terrifying and captivating. It carries with it a sense of ancient sorcery, of secrets whispered in the cold wind.
It carries with it a sense of ancient sorcery, of secrets whispered in the cold wind.

An Enchanted Evening at Liberty Magic
Having lived in the Pittsburgh area my entire life, I’ve experienced much of what the city has to offer—its sporting events, concerts, museums, festivals and restaurants.
However, I’ve never experienced anything quite like Liberty Magic.
Liberty Magic is a brand-new venue from the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust that just opened in Downtown Pittsburgh. The storefront is located right next door to the Harris Theater, on the same block where, in 1916, Harry Houdini wowed crowds by hanging upside down from a rope while strapped into a straitjacket. The venue, which bills itself as an “intimate, speakeasy magic arts space,” offers a truly one-of-a-kind experience. When I say I’ve never experienced anything quite like it before, I’m not being hyperbolic.
With its heavy burgundy curtains, old-timey music and collection of magic artifacts, you feel as if you’re being transported back in time to those days of Harry Houdini as soon you as you step inside.
We attended a Saturday evening performance featuring magician Eric Jones, the magician in residence at the venue through March 17. You may recognize Eric from the last season of “America’s Got Talent,” where he was named a top 12 semi-finalist. He comes to Pittsburgh with an impressive pedigree: he’s worked with magic heavyweights like David Blaine and Criss Angel, and was one of only a handful of magicians who managed to fool Penn and Teller on the television show “Fool Us.”
Eric’s one-hour performance, aptly titled “Impossible,” features mesmerizing sleight-of -hand coin and card tricks. Without giving anything away, one of his tricks, which involved an audience member’s diamond ring and a glass-domed container, had us scratching our heads and discussing “how he did that” well after the show ended. And while his tricks had our collective jaws hitting the floor more than once, I was as equally impressed with his demeanor and storytelling abilities, as well as with his sense of humor.
With only 70 seats and four rows, there isn’t a bad seat in the house. The first two rows are reserved for Skeleton Key guests, and several of these guests (as well as others in the back rows), were asked to join Eric on stage at Saturday’s performance.
The venue is BYOB and charges a $5 per-guest corkage fee (complimentary soft drinks and water are provided). This is an adults-only venue; the recommend age for guests is 18 and up, and no one under the age of 12 will be admitted.
A truly one-of-a-kind experience, Liberty Magic is exactly the kind of venue that Pittsburgh didn’t know it needed. If you’re looking for a truly enchanted evening of entertainment, you’ll definitely want to visit.
Liberty Magic is located at 811 Liberty Avenue, Pittsburgh. For more information or to purchase tickets, click HERE.

Reviews for "Behind the Scenes: How Sound Effects Create the Perfect Haunting Witch Cackle"
1. Sarah - 2 out of 5 stars - The haunting witch cackling was not what I expected. Instead of being scary and creepy, it was just annoying and ear-piercing. It felt like nails on a chalkboard, and I couldn't wait for it to stop. It didn't add any eerie atmosphere to the Halloween party; it just made everyone cover their ears and cringe. Definitely not a sound effect I would recommend for a spooky ambiance.
2. Mark - 1 out of 5 stars - The haunting witch cackling was absolutely terrible. It sounded more like a dying animal than a creepy witch. It was not realistic at all and didn't contribute anything positive to my Halloween decorations. It just made my guests laugh more than anything else. I was really disappointed with this sound effect and regret purchasing it. Save your money and look for something better for your Halloween festivities.
3. Emily - 2 out of 5 stars - The haunting witch cackling was a complete letdown. I was expecting a spine-chilling sound that would send shivers down my spine, but instead, it was more of a high-pitched screech that was more annoying than haunting. It didn't create the eerie atmosphere I was aiming for during my Halloween party, and my guests found it more irritating than scary. I would recommend looking for a different sound effect if you want to create a truly chilling ambiance.
4. Alex - 2 out of 5 stars - The haunting witch cackling was a huge disappointment. It sounded more like a child imitating a witch than anything remotely frightening. It lacked depth and intensity, failing to create a chilling aura. I had higher expectations for a sound effect called "haunting witch cackling." It didn't live up to its name, and I wouldn't recommend it if you're looking for truly spine-tingling Halloween sounds.
5. Jessica - 2 out of 5 stars - The haunting witch cackling fell short of my expectations. It lacked authenticity and sounded more comical than spooky. The laughter was forced and exaggerated, which made it difficult to take seriously. It didn't contribute to the scary ambiance I was trying to achieve at my haunted house event. I would suggest finding a better option if you want to create a truly haunting atmosphere for your Halloween celebrations.
