001481514 520__ $$aSTREET 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.
