The Curse of the Frozen Gold is a famous legend that has captured the imagination of many throughout the years. It is said to revolve around an ancient treasure hidden deep within the frozen wilderness of the North. According to the legend, a group of explorers stumbled upon a cache of gold during the gold rush era. It is believed that this gold was so immense in value that it was referred to as the Frozen Gold. However, as with any great treasure, it came with a curse. The curse is said to befall anyone who dares to attempt to possess the Frozen Gold.

Without giving anything away, one of his tricks, which involved an audience member s diamond ring and a glass-domed container, had us scratching our heads and discussing how he did that well after the show ended. The storefront is located right next door to the Harris Theater, on the same block where, in 1916, Harry Houdini wowed crowds by hanging upside down from a rope while strapped into a straitjacket.
The curse is said to befall anyone who dares to attempt to possess the Frozen Gold. It is believed that those who go searching for it are doomed to suffer a series of misfortunes and tragedies. These misfortunes can range from loss of wealth and health to even loss of life.

Jimmy Ichihana in The Cards
Wed, Jul 5 - Sun, Aug 13, 2023
Few dare to test the limits of the most versatile prop in the magicians kit as tenaciously as Jimmy Ichihana. In this premier performance Jimmy brings his mastery of math to the art of intricate close up card magic, testing the laws of probability and transcending presumptions. A combination of time honored card classics and original creations, this brand new show uses little more than a deck of cards and a fervor for magic to create lasting memories of the impossible.
Jimmy has learned from some of the greatest magicians in the world—having even spent a year in Madrid to study the card techniques of the masters. He’ll use every trick in the book (and several not yet written) to deceive your senses. Innovative sleight of hand, misdirection and more undisclosed trickery will be debuted for the very first time on the Liberty Magic Stage in this interactive celebration of card conjuring and mechanics.
Liberty Magic is a brand-new venue from the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust that just opened in Downtown Pittsburgh. The storefront is located right next door to the Harris Theater, on the same block where, in 1916, Harry Houdini wowed crowds by hanging upside down from a rope while strapped into a straitjacket. The venue, which bills itself as an “intimate, speakeasy magic arts space,” offers a truly one-of-a-kind experience. When I say I’ve never experienced anything quite like it before, I’m not being hyperbolic.
Legend has it that over the years, many brave adventurers have ventured into the frozen wilderness in search of the Frozen Gold. However, their fates have been sealed by the curse. Some have lost their way in the treacherous icy landscape and have perished due to extreme weather conditions. Others have fallen victim to frostbite or have encountered wild animals that roamed the icy plains. There are also stories of explorers who have managed to find the Frozen Gold but have paid a heavy price for their discovery. They have experienced a string of unfortunate events, from financial ruin to personal tragedies, leading many to believe that the curse is indeed real.

However, there are still those who are undeterred by the legends and continue to venture into the frozen wilderness in search of the elusive treasure. Whether the curse is real or simply a cautionary tale, the Curse of the Frozen Gold serves as a reminder of the risks involved in seeking great wealth. It brings to light the dangers and sacrifices one must be willing to make in pursuit of material wealth, and serves as a cautionary tale for those who dare to follow in the footsteps of the cursed explorers..
Reviews for "The Perilous Quest: Fear and Tragedy in the Frozen Gold Fields"
Paul - 2 stars - I was really excited to see "Curse of the Frozen Gold" because I love adventure movies, but I was sorely disappointed. The plot was confusing and all over the place, and the characters were one-dimensional and unrelatable. I also found the pacing to be extremely slow, with long stretches of nothing happening. Overall, I was bored throughout most of the movie and wouldn't recommend it.
Emily - 1 star - "Curse of the Frozen Gold" was a complete waste of my time and money. The acting was terrible, with wooden performances and unconvincing dialogue. The special effects were also laughably bad, with obvious green screens and cheesy CGI. I couldn't wait for the movie to end and was left feeling like I had just watched a low-budget student film. Save yourself the disappointment and skip this one.
Sam - 2 stars - I had high hopes for "Curse of the Frozen Gold" as a fan of adventure movies, but it failed to deliver. The plot was convoluted and hard to follow, with numerous unnecessary subplots that added nothing to the overall story. The action sequences were poorly choreographed and lacked any real excitement. The film also suffered from inconsistent tone, veering awkwardly between comedy and drama. It was a disappointment overall and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for a thrilling adventure.
