The Magic Club

Sharing The Art of Magic

“Some day, however, we hope that even the man in the street will have learned the fact that so-called “secrets” are, to the magician, little more than are, to the actor, the wigs, grease-paints and other “make- ups” with which he prepares himself for appearance before the public. The art of the magician, like that of the actor, depends upon matters far higher than mere appliances and processes.”

– Nevil Maskelyne & David Devant  (Our Magic, 1911 published by E.P. Dutton)
