Between the 1850's and the 1930's the world was transfixed by the proliferation of Magic. Specialist theatres existed and huge magic shows toured the world, each promising something more exciting and special than the last one. As a by-product of this explosion of interest a great number of the magicians of the day supplemented their incomes by writing and publishing books which revealed at least some of their secrets.
