Presenting the amazing Harry Kellar. The first magician to receive international fame. The most well-known illusionist at the turn of the twentieth century. The model for the Wizard of Oz!
Author Gail Jarrow follows Kellar from a magician’s assistant, to traveling and performing across the United States during the Civil War, to an international superstar with a show of his own, entertaining emperors, kings, and presidents.
Jarrow uses Kellar’s own words and images—his amazing four-color promotional posters—to tell his riveting story in this great Kellar biography.
She reveals the science behind Kellar’s illusions and explores nineteenth-century entertainment and transportation as well as the history of magic, spiritualism, and séances.
