Magic & Conjuring: page 164

Tra Cinema e Magia é un saggio dedicato ad un importante personaggio della cartomagia del XX Secolo, Cy Endfield, conosciuto al grande pubblico come regista di classici del cinema come "Zulu" con Michael Caine.

Endfield, appassionato di prestigiazione fin dall'adolescenza, fin dagli anni '40 frequenta importanti circoli magici ed associazioni magiche come la SAM e l'IBM. Stimato da illustri colleghi come Dai Vernon, Paul Curry a Alex Elmsley, il suo contributo cartomagico verra' fissato negli eccellenti libri di Lewis Ganson, Cy Endfield's Entertaining Card Magic.
