Rezensionen
The archetype of magic autobiographies, King of the Conjurers, written by Robert-Houdin, provides a fascinating glimpse into the career of the father of modern magic. Some of the material in the book has proven to be apocryphal -- such as the story of Torrini, Houdin's alleged teacher -- but it is of little consequence. King of the Conjurers is simply great fun. Reprinted by Dover books, this work can be found easily and inexpensively in paperback.
