Frederick Eugene Powell: Master of Magic and Mystery!, a new 276-page biography by Tom Ewing on the Dean of American Magicians and one of the most respected and beloved conjuror’s in history.
Now, you can read of his fascinating life from his birth in 1856, to his death in 1938. Research for this biography was drawn from hundreds of personal letters accompanied by rare photographs and examples of his surviving magic apparatus.
Over the course of eight decades Powell trod the world’s stages performing magic before delighted audiences. He was a powerful image in theater history and a major attraction in P.T. Barnum’s circus. Audiences were thrilled throughout South and Central America with his conjuring. He survived fires, floods, earthquakes, and even the Mexican Revolution.
