Aus dem Klappentext:
The autobiography of David Bamberg records the adventurous life and perceptive observations of one of the last great traveling showmen. Robert Parrish, who edited the book, calls it "the most engaging and illuminating document of its kind produced by a professional magician in the 20th century." As the stage magician Fu Manchu, David Bamberg spent 35 years touring Latin America and Spain with a full-evening show combining original and artistic illusions with elements of comedy and revue. David Bamberger's book, written in a candid, conversational style, offers a remarkably human account of a life devoted to theatrical illusion. The text is supplemented by extensive notes, a bibliography, index, and photographs. An introduction by Robert Parrish and an essay by the magician's son, Robert Bamberg, add to the reader's understanding of this remarkable showman and the era in which he flourished.
