Hiding The Elephant

How Magicians Invented the Impossible

Beschreibung

Presents a story of the Golden Age of magic and of the world's legendary magicians: the personalities who patented the first ghost and competed fiendishly in the race to make things materialize, levitate and disappear. This book is the masterwork of a man who has dedicated his life to magic, who knows the tricks inside out, and still believes.
