About the Book
Occult traditions have inspired musical ingenuity for centuries. From the Pythagorean concept of a music of the spheres to the occult subculture of 20th-century pop and rock, music has often attempted to express mystical states of mind, cosmic harmony, the demonic and the divine—nowhere more so, perhaps, than in the music for films such as The Mephisto Waltz, The Devil Rides Out, Star Trek, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, The Omen and The Exorcist.
This survey explores how such film music works and uncovers its origins in Pythagorean and Platonic ideas about the divine order of the universe and its essentially numerical/musical nature. Chapters trace the influence of esoteric Freemasonry on Mozart and Beethoven, the birth of “demonic” music in the 19th century with composers such as Weber, Berlioz and Liszt, Wagner’s racial mysticism, Schoenberg’s numerical superstition, the impact of synesthesia on art music and film, the effect of theosophical ideas on composers such as Scriabin and Holst, supernatural opera and ballet, fairy music and, finally, popular music in the 1960s and ’70s.
Each act is carefully choreographed to create a seamless flow that keeps the audience on the edge of their seats. From grand illusions to sleight of hand, the performers' skill and showmanship are evident throughout the entire show. The Times Square Magic Show has received rave reviews from both critics and spectators. Many have praised the quality and variety of the acts, as well as the professionalism of the performers. The show has become a popular attraction in New York City and is often sold out, so it is recommended to book tickets in advance.

Reviews for "Unlocking the Magic: Discovering the Times Square Magic Show"
1. John - 1 star
I was really disappointed with the Times Square magic show. The performances were lackluster and predictable. I could see through most of the tricks and they didn't leave me feeling amazed or entertained. The performers also seemed disinterested and lacked stage presence. Overall, it was a forgettable experience and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for a magical night out.
2. Sarah - 2 stars
I was expecting a grand and mesmerizing magic show at Times Square, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The tricks were not mind-blowing and seemed like something I could easily figure out. The timing between the routines was off, resulting in a disjointed and confusing performance. The venue itself was overcrowded, making it difficult to fully enjoy the show. I was hoping for a magical experience, but sadly, I left feeling underwhelmed.
3. Mike - 1 star
The Times Square magic show was a total waste of time and money. The tricks were unoriginal and cliché. It felt like I was watching the same tricks I had seen at countless other magic shows. The performers lacked charisma and failed to engage the audience. The show lacked creativity and innovation, leaving me bored throughout the entire performance. Save your money and skip this disappointing magic show.
