This is the story of the Golden Age of magic and of the world's
most legendary magicians: the eccentric personalities who patented
the first ghost and competed fiendishly in the race to make things
materialize, levitate and disappear. We meet Harry Kellar, the
ruthless thief of secrets who was the model for the Wizard of Oz,
and PT Selbit, the first man to saw a woman in half on stage. We
meet John Nevil Maskelyne, whose Egyptian Theatre was a London
institution for sixty years. Hiding the Elephant is the masterwork
of a man who has dedicated his life to magic, who knows the tricks
inside out, and still believes.
