This is a huge book in size, weight, and importance! Over 17 pounds, 14.5" x 17.25" and profusely illustrated, it is a delight for the mind and eyes!
Combining sensational images with lucid and incisive text, Magic 1400s-1950s explores the evolution of the magician's craft, from medieval street performers to the brilliant stage magicians who gave rise to cinematic special effects; from the 19th century's Golden Age of Magic to groundbreaking daredevils like Houdini and the early 20th century vaudevillians.
Written by Mike Caveney, Jim Steinmeyer, and Ricky Jay, and edited by Noel Daniel. This book is scarce and out of print but we have one brand new copy, still in shrink wrap, at Tin City Magic.
