This is a great book about some great magical illusionists. They are; Harry Blackstone Jr., David Copperfield, George Goebel, Doug Henning, Andre Kole, and Siegfried and Roy. The book is full of black and white photographs and tells something about each magician as well as detailing each perform's act from beginning to end. This is a highly valuable book for anyone interested in putting together a stage act, or an entertaining item for anyone who loves magic and wants to relive a live performance by one of their favorite magicians.

Another fine item from the private library of magician Jay Marshall.
