The mysterious art of magic has been a source of wonderment since
before the time of Christ. Shape shifting between the supernatural
practices of 'real' magic and demonstrations of dazzling illusion,
magic has been used to conjure the evil eye, burn villages to the
ground, slice women in half, and save men from being crushed to
death by five tonnes of cement. Robert Ralley's history takes us
deep into this magical underworld to reveal the astounding stories
of some of the world's greatest magicians. From the astrology of
the three wise men to Harry Houdini's escapology, and David Blain's
endurance tests, Ralley illustrates the changing perceptions of
magic and the dangerous balance between illusion, fraud, and
devilry that still exists today.
