Here is a history of modern wizardry told through the improbable lives of the world's greatest magicians - from Robert Houdin, who freed magic from the trappings of the charlatan to Houdini, perhaps the most skillful escape artist ever. Here, too, are clear and detailed explanations of how these men performed tricks that baffled hundreds of thousands of observers - the sleights-of-hand that were faster than the eye, the subtle feats of misdirection, and such spectacular effects as the \"Bullet Catching\" illusion, which ended the career of more than one conjurer. What makes magic compelling to so many is the air of mystery the best performers are able to evoke. Walter Gibson, a master of magic and its history in his own right, reveals much of what creates this mystery without ever breaking the spell. Illustrated with 48 pages of photographs, period drawings, posters, showbills, and other memorabilia. This book has chapters on the following Robert-Houdin, Professor Anderson, Herrmann the Great, Kellar, Chung Ling Soo, Thurston, Houdini and Hardeen, The Great Raymond.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1966 HC 1stEd (Doubleday Prebound Edition) - DJ Rubbing on panels, Shelf worn - No comments - Good Cond\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stevens Magic Emporium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45882987282484,"sku":"","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0632\/1461\/6628\/files\/The_Master_Magicians_-_Richards.png?v=1739472684"},{"product_id":"cyclopedia-of-magic-henry-hay-richards-estate","title":"Cyclopedia of Magic - Henry Hay - Richards Estate","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Cyclopedia of Magic by Henry Hay is a comprehensive reference book for magicians.
