Magicians like Harry Kellar and PT Selbit pushed the boundaries of what was thought possible, creating illusions that seemed impossible. This book tells the story of these magicians and their quest to make the impossible real. From the Egyptian Theatre in London to the world of stage magic, Jim Steinmeyer explores the lives and secrets of these legendary performers. With a deep understanding of the craft, Steinmeyer reveals the tricks and techniques that made their performances so astonishing.
