EVENT SPACES AT A GLANCEABOUT SPY

The International Spy Museum lifts the veil of secrecy on the hidden world of intelligence and espionage—exploring its successes and failures, challenges and controversies.

Espionage and Intelligence have played a critical role in our past and continue to influence our present and future, but by design, they are kept under the shroud of secrecy. The International Spy Museum is a non-profit organization dedicated to uncovering the global world of intelligence and espionage.

The Museum's mission is to educate the public about espionage and intelligence in an engaging way and to provide a context that fosters understanding of their important role in, and impact on, current and historic events.

The Museum provides an objective and apolitical forum for the exploration of the role of intelligence in society and its impact on people’s lives.

INTERACTIVE ENTERTAINMENT

FORTUNETELLERSThese authentic and talented fortunetellers will keep things positive while revealing aspects of your guests’ future. Fortunetellers are available to do palm reading or tarot card reading for your guests.

LIPSOLOGISTLipsology® is the exciting art and science of Lip Print Reading. Using kiss cards made uniquely for your event, the Lipsologist will collect your guests’ lip prints. Then, with humor and insight, the Lipsologist will share the messages their lip prints have made such as their personality characteristics, energy levels, and more!

SKETCH ARTISTSOpt for this crowd favorite and your guests will have humorous caricatures as a memento from your event.

HANDWRITING EXPERTSAlso known as Graphologists, Handwriting Experts are a very interesting and unique form of fortunetellers. Have a handwriting expert analyze your guests’ writing. Our experts will share insights about their personalities based on how they put pen to paper.

Enhance your event by adding a variety of top quality entertainers ranging from handwriting experts and fortunetellers to look-alike performers.

AUSTIN POWERS: Everyone’s favorite spoof of spydom, Austin Powers is outlandishly funny and will have your guests in stitches. He can be accompanied by a “Powers Babe” or be solo. As Mike Myers would say, “Yeah, baby, yeah!”

GOLDFINGER: The most notorious of all the Bond villains, this burley, golden-haired devil may also be accompanied by one of his ‘victims,’ a beautiful woman painted gold from head to toe on a pedestal!

BORIS AND NATASHA: These classic favorites dress in trench coats and fedoras and lurk in the shadows. They speak in conspicuous but hard to place Eastern European accents as they pass each other signals and (not so) secretly hand each other notes. Their over the top suspicious behavior adds a lot of laughs to your event.

MAXWELL SMARTER: Who is that fellow talking into his shoe? Why, that’s none other than Maxwell Smarter, a character spoof of the beloved personality played by Don Adams in the 1960s. He’ll attempt to track down evil forces lurking in your event, always missing it ‘By THAT much!

MATA HARI: This seductive mistress of spying cannot be trusted! She will wow your guests in her own alluring way. Clad in exotic dancer’s veils and spangles, she will slither and charm her way through your event.

POLYGRAPH TESTER: Don’t let his professional looks fool you, his polygraph machine does not actually work! Our nerdy Lie Detective adds humor and wit as he grills your guests and decides if they are lying or telling the truth. This comic prop along with our talented actor makes for laughs all around.

GENERIC SPIES: Set the mood for your event by hiring a couple of spies who will skulk and slink around your party in character asking guests for “the secret password.” These characters are great for creating an interactive atmosphere for your guests.

JAMES BOND: Nothing says “spy” like 007 himself. This debonair Sean Connery lookalike will entertain and charm your guests in character, dressed in his classic tuxedo. This dead ringer for Connery will greet your guests when they enter to set the mood and schmooze with them as if they themselves were characters in one of Ian Fleming’s famous scripts.

BOND GIRL: Hanging on Bond’s arm and on his every word, these mesmerizing female companions complement and further the Bond mystique for your clients. After all, martinis and women are Bond’s specialties.

DR. EVIL: This diabolical alter ego of Austin Powers is always trying to take over the world. He will try to recruit your guests in hysterical fashion in this over the top objective, always trying to bring out the “evil” in everyone.

POWERS BABE: From her bouffant hairdo to her go-go boots, the Babe is the perfect complement to Austin Powers.
