a hidden world of Victorian Events


The world needs more magic

You feel it. The weight you're carrying, the pressure to keep moving, but what if you had permission to let it go for a night and feel magical?

I'm Tome Wilson, an Emmy-winning artist, and for over 20 years I've created immersive events for adults who need a little magic.

Friends of Autumn is my latest creation, a series of luxury events held in Philadelphia's most enchanting historic venues where a Gothic Victorian secret society – including you – can spend the night enjoying world-class performers, thrilling magic shows, live chamber music, intimate candlelit dinners, and heart-pounding séances.

The question isn't whether you need magic. It's whether you're ready to let yourself have it.

Limited invitations. Unforgettable nights.
