History of Magic
August 9, 2007
There are a few sites dedicated to the history of magic and a few online magic dealers and other magic sites which have a bit of historical information, but it is rare to find a well written article on the subject.
However, this editorial on Buzzle (one of few good quality article sites) Magic and Magicians in the 19th Century provides a great overview of the recent history of magic and early magicians. There are quite a few I haven’t heard of and I’d be interested to read the book which is the main source for this article.
