Jim Steimeyer takes us on a journey through the history of the "Golden Age" of magic.
He illuminates the groundbreaking inventions, backstage intrigues, stunning stage presences, espionage, and fierce competition among the world's top magicians.
He reveals the secrets and controversies behind tricks that left a mark: the "Pepper's Ghost" and the "Sphinx" of Colonel Joseph Stoddard, the "Levitation of Princess Karnak" by Harry Kellar, and the "Disappearing Donkey" by Charles Morritt.
