The lights in the round chamber started to flicker as we all were whisked down into the .
underground catacombs. Our guide then escorted us through a maze of hallways filled with artifacts and enormous entryways to the Dining Chambers of the gods.
Upon entering the chamber, I was led to the prime seat at the center table. We then met our sorcerer, Terry, and his two assistants, Minimus and Maximus. Besides being gracious hosts, they filled our stomachs with laughter and our minds with impossible feats of sorcery. The three course meal buried our stomachs with delicacies. From the spices to the garnishes, every sumptuous bite tickled my taste buds. Even more impressive than the food was how they managed to divine who ordered what, without ever looking at the choice cards. To top it all off, our host Terry dematerialized in a puff of smoke, to instantly surprise us by reappearing sitting at the other end of our table! .
After our meal, we were free to wander the many other amazing attractions within. Just outside the dining chamber was the centerpiece of the Empire, known as the Sanctum Secorum. In the center of this was the luminaria show. From the inside of a gigantic stone bowl, fire spews up higher than a geyser, meanwhile smaller flames dance in torches surrounding this. Massive carved statues manifest out of the walls and animate along with harmonious sound, reverberating between the walls of this rotunda. The fire and sound fade off into nothingness and the "dong- sound of a gong resonates in our ears. .
Standing at the entrance to the Secret Pagoda is a robed wizard, who guides us into the intimate seventy five seat theater. We wait for a moment and gaze at the exquisite Chinese inspired setting. The room quiets down, and a man breezes through the curtain, and takes a bow. The room isn't quiet anymore, as we are all anxious to see what Alain Nu can do with his supernatural powers. He immediately involves everyone, allowing us to select numbers and arrange them into a "magic square.
