A
Magician's Tour
Edited and published by Phil Temple with Robert
E. Olson
This
is one of the most anticipated books of the year! Phil Temple has
done a beautiful job in reprinting Harry Kellar's A Magician's Tour,
which deals with his journeys and adventures around the world as
one of America's foremost magicians. Probably what makes this book
unique is the research that Mr. Temple did using the Kellar family
archives. The additional commentary and chapters at the end of the
book offer a fascinating perspective on the relationship Kellar had
with the Strobridge Litho Co., with Valadon, with Thurston as his
Successor, etc. Finally, the poster section of the book is just gorgeous!
There are 22 different Kellar posters in full color published in
this book. This is a "must have" for any magic aficionado
that wants to know more about Harry Kellar.
This
book also comes with a reprint of Kellar's Wonder Book, which was
a booklet that Kellar published for his audiences. It is full of
magic tricks, games, optical illusions, etc.
