FATHOMS

A Titanic Book Test of Unparalleled Depth

Gemini Artifacts proudly unveils what may be the most significant book‑performance ever created for the world of storytelling magic. Whether you are a bizarrist, a séance worker, a mentalist, or a devoted Titanic historian, FATHOMS is the long‑sought artifact that finally bridges history, tragedy, and impossible revelation.

On April 15, 1912, the RMS Titanic slipped beneath the black Atlantic, taking 1,517 souls with her. One week later, on April 22, the recovery ship Mackay‑Bennett steamed into the North Atlantic to gather the dead. That same Monday, the President of the Board of Trade petitioned the Lord Chancellor to appoint a Wreck Commissioner—thus beginning the official inquiry into the disaster.

FATHOMS is a faithful reproduction of one of the volumes generated by that august Commission. Within its pages lies a meticulously recreated listing of nearly half of those who perished—actual names, actual descriptions, actual details. Even a Titanic expert will find nothing amiss. This book withstands scrutiny because it does not pretend.
It records the truth.

You recount the familiar story… perhaps even show a moment from one of the many Titanic films… and then invite your spectator to open the book. She selects a single listing from among the hundreds. She reads the description. She imagines the final moments of a life cut short. And then—
you receive a contact from the icy deep.

You reveal initials. Full names. Age, gender, occupation.
The coloring of the hair.
The clothing.
The personal effects recovered from the body.
And more—far more.
It is as though you are reading the page over her shoulder… yet you never come near her.

Still not enough? Have another spectator choose a different name. Or the same spectator. It makes no difference. Another life unfolds. Another revelation strikes home. With FATHOMS, you can reveal more than most audiences can emotionally endure, for each revelation is a reminder of cold water, dark skies, and a night the world never forgot.

FATHOMS is not a “look and I will see” routine.
It is a connection.
A bridge between your spectator and the dead.
A moment of empathy that renders Titanic more human, more tragic, and more unforgettable than ever before.

This is FATHOMS.

No peeks.
No fishing.
No stooges.
No questions.
No moves.
Nothing concealed.
Not a single word spoken before your revelations begin.

If you wish, the performance manual details handlings that allow the entire show to be fully scripted in advance—transforming FATHOMS into a complete theatrical experience, a séance‑grade narrative, and an impossible demonstration of mindreading and spiritual contact.
