Neshobe #13 Masters of Escape & Illusion Click here for photos Click here for Guestbook "The more sophisticated people become, the more naively they react to the ageless appeal of magic. They take moon shots and atomic-powered submarines for granted, but are puzzled and delighted when an adroit close-up conjurer causes the card they selected to rise from a shuffled pack, when a manipulator produces a dover from nowhere, when an illusionist changes a lady into a lion, or when a mentalist reveals their secret thoughts." —Milbourne Christopher The Illustrated History of Magic "At this time businessmen were discovering the profit in practical jokes and parlor magic tricks. There were exploding cigars, rubber roses for the lapel that squirted water, boxes of sneezing powder, telescopes that left black eyes, exploding card decks, magic rings, books that told you the meaning of dreams..." —E.
