Made for the serious knowledge-seeker of Magic.

Richly informative and easily able to hold the attention of the modern-day reader while acquainting him with the fully illustrated history of this continuing marvel right up to the present day. A must for magic fanatics and historians alike.

Impressive and very comprehensive book.

This book offers wonderful photos and a look into magic's marvelous history. Also covers the masters of the art today, such as Lance Burton, David Copperfield, and Siegfried & Roy. Highly recommended!
