What if the tickets had a magical component that allows the holder to go back in time to the night of Lincoln’s assassination. If you’ve seen the Schwarzenegger film, The
ADT Action Hero, it’s kind of like the golden Houdini ticket.

Upon realizing where and when the ticket holder is, how do they try to prevent Lincoln’s murder? Can they change the course of history and if so, what happens?

Too much Hippie SpeedBall this morning, I guess!

ETA: The tickets belong in a museum.
