      abstract = {STREET MAGIC is a romantic history of the world's most  elusive conjurers-the itinerant magicians who, from ancient  times to the present, have made the world their stage. Here  are tales of the tribal shamans of North America, of Hindu  fakirs and oriental illusionists, medieval mountebanks,  European street jugglers, fairground hucksters, charlatans,  mediums, and mystics. Also included are lively accounts of  some of the legendary stage magicians who performed street  magic as well (Robert-Houdin, Comte, Herrmann and Houdini),  and a portrait of Jeff Sheridan, who today is one of the  most popular performers in New York's Central Park.  Illustrated with 133 photographs, paintings, etchings, and  engravings, STREET MAGIC conjures up all the mystery and  entertainment of the magical arts.--Back cover.},
