reviewed Illlustrated History of Magic on March 26, 2014 Illlustrated History of Magic
Excellent and in-depth overview of the most famous magicians in history (both known to us and less familiar now), illustrated generously from the author's own collection.
The book focuses heavily on individuals and their connections to each other, rather than, say, how the magicians of an era fit into that particular time period, and the focus is more ob stage magic than sleight of hand, though that does appear. Wonderful introduction to the greats of the magical fraternity.
