Title: A wonderful and engaging read
Product review: Jim Steinmeyer is a marvellous writer and he turns his full powers to a subject he loves and knows well - the history of the Golden Age of Magic. Whether or not you are interested in magic, theater or history, you'll still be knocked out by this book. It was the best book I read this past summer, not just because of all the "gee, whiz" cool stuff in it, but because of the human element involved in the stories here. In its depiction of the personalities, egos, and creative mad scientists involved, Hiding the Elephant really shines. I read the whole book in one day, then passed it to a friend who did the same thing. Neither of us could put it down. Highly recommended.
