Review: New York Herald, 19 October 1864.
Heller’s show remains popular because of his “quickness of tongue, lightness of finger, his wit, puns, music, and extraordinary illusions.”  The audience is appreciative, fashionable, and eager to learn the secrets behind his illusions.  Last night he introduced a new scene of pantomime and illusion, “Scarlet Spirit.”

Review: New-York Daily Tribune, 20 October 1864, 5.
“HELLER’S SALLE DIABOLIQUE.—The success of Mr. Heller’s new programme is already assured. The ‘Mephistophelian Feat’ excites universal merriment and applause each night.”
