The Last Greatest Magician in the World: Howard Thurston Versus Houdini & the Battles of the American Wizards by Jim Steinmeyer

5.0

Fun read about the slimball reality of being a full time magician in the early years of the 20th Century. I used to buy stuff from Gerald Heany, one of the people who ended up with a lot of Thurston's gear after he died. Heany always tossed in extra stuff for me and wrote long letters to me about the things he included and how to best perform them. Years later I learned that was not at all like his usual behavior. Oh well, it was good for me.
