★ "A first-rate visual presentation accompanies a fascinating
biography of the first dean of the Society of American Magicians, a
man Houdini regarded as a mentor. . . . Dozens of spectacular
Kellar posters along with a dramatic book design nicely support
this well-constructed look at a consummate showman. (timeline,
bibliography, annotated sources)"—Kirkus Reviews, starred
review
