This 259 page hardcover book is a mixture of magic history and instruction. “The first five chapters, together with sections that weave in and out of the tricks described in later chapters, sketch a veritable history of magic from ancient Egyptian times to the present. It is a fabulous history, told with touches of poetry and humor, and sprinkled with wise, authoritative observations by a man who knows magic, from top hat to bottom deal, in all its fantastic variety; a man who is himself partly responsible to that variety.” ~ Martin Gardner (introduction).
