The public curiosity with serial killers is well known. Experts say that our fascination is based more on a desire to understand the WHY behind their incomprehensible acts, rather than the nature of the acts themselves. How did they become killers? In what ways are they different from us? Are they different from us at all?
So be prepared. Your close-up audience will demonstrate a somewhat morbid curiosity in this deck. They will want to look through it, comment on individual monsters that catch their eye. And, they will instantly be drawn in by the idea that you are about to reveal some of those monsters’ murderous secrets…
The Serial Killer Deck is suitable for all performance types, with themes spanning from the heroic capture of these depraved individuals to the truly macabre, and everything in between. Incredible routines included from Christopher Taylor, Rolando Santos, and Vince Wilson make this deck a powerful performing tool right out of the box, or let your own imagination run wild with the new plots, themes, and possibilities offered by the Serial Killer Deck.

I just want thank Chris Sipes for the amazing work he did in recreating Dr. Pritchard’s Box of Poison. It is handcrafted solid wood and has amazing secrets! Chris’ talent in technology allows you to see the final reveals from across the room. Amazing! Also, it includes an HH Holmes package inside. OH! It also has more reveals than ever. If you get one, IM me and I will tell you how to add more! Truly a marvel and I think easily customizable for any show. Make it a Ripper box, Titanic, Chicago Gangsters, witchcraft and more!

Whilst I have yet to “play” with my Poison Box (neighbours and locals beware!), I endorse Vince’s comments where I can. Most importantly of all, it really LOOKS authentic – but then, of course, it really did come from Holmes ‘s Murder Castle(!?!). It’s the sort of prop which adds the right amount of “atmosphere” to a performance; a mixture of intrigue, puzzlement, authenticity whist being ‘unsettling’. It’s very well constructed and aged. Importantly, it doesn’t betray the devilment that hides inside. As with all such props, it is what you the performer makes of it and with it that matters. Open the box and let it lead you – if you dare.
