a 452-page comprehensive look at the evolution of the magical arts. While this large-format, extensively illustrated volume does omit some notable magicians of the past, it remains one of the best general histories. Christopher knew what made a good magic book -- his personal collection housed over 4,000 books on conjuring. ( )
