You step through a heavy curtain and the room exhales like a stage about to perform. Dim lamps throw long shadows across velvet chairs; a gilt mirror seems to watch your hands. The scenario drops you into 1929: a famed magician accused of sabotage, a colleague dead, and a parlor rigged with tricks that blur sleight-of-hand and staged menace. The clock on the wall is both prop and antagonist — sixty minutes to find the exit before the curtain rises.
