Fantasma was an attraction at Olentangy Park that opened in 1906. It was described as being in a well-ventilated and beautifully decorated building and gave "an entertainment of high merit, both amusing and attractive."[1]
In 1908, the Columbus Evening Dispatch reported that a "genuine Hindoo, 'T'Ishi, the wizard of India" performed at the "new Fantasma." The performance included "Hindoo occultism and necromancy," power of suggestion on audience members, magic acts, and an escape act where he'd escape from a large black bag and ropes. It took place in the original Fantasma building, which was renamed the "House of Hindoo Mystery," possibly the "House of Mystery" mentioned elsewhere.[2]
