== Introduction ==<br />
<br />
“Nothing so sweet as magic is to him, which he prefers before his chiefest bliss. And this the man that in his study sits” <br />
<br />
Welcome to the land of illusion, a place in the mind, a shimmering mirage of riches and mystery and death. Within the walls of Faust’s opulent gothic mansion an orgy of evil is about to begin. <br />
<br />
Profane, irreverent and sexy yet daring to make you ponder philosophical arguments that have troubled Man since the beginning of time. God, freewill and the everlasting torments of Hell! A macabre burlesque of mad magic, visual mayhem, pole dancing devils, sword fighting angels, blood, fire and crazy puppets. Expect the unexpected! <br />
<br />
