History of Magic & Magicians

This is a reprint of an interesting book copyright 1895. Mr. Burlingame covers the earliest days of magic, then goes into detail about magic and magicians as they existed in the 19th century. This material is seldom found in magic books of today, but the man who would be a complete magician should know somethig of the history of the art he follows. Well written and very interesting reading. 52 pages.
