Conjurer Dick

Professor Hoffmann
Conjurer Dick by Professor Hoffmann

This is a lovely story of a boy wizard growing up to become a conjurer. While this is not autobiographical, Angelo Lewis clearly incorporated aspects of his own experience and life into this novel. For example, one of his teachers of card sleight-of-hand, M. Charlier, makes an appearance as Monsieur Ledoyen. This was the first book that had his pseudonym, Professor Hoffmann, as well as his real name, Angelo J. Lewis, on the cover.

Interesting for magicians is that every trick that features in this novel is explained. While the explanations are not very detailed, they are enough to reveal...

T. G. Murphy

T. G. MurphyAt an early age, T.G. demonstrated exceptional skill at games of chance, particularly card games. In grade school he scourged the seniors, in high school he frequented the fraternities, in college he challenged the career businessmen, and in graduate school he gallivanted to the gaming tables of Las Vegas.

Learning from observing cheats in action, T.G. discovered and mastered the mechanics of the cardsharps as well as developed his own unrivaled style of shearing the sheep for slaughter. If provoked by being cheated, he believed it was open season, and could he ever lay a trap.

T.G. later decided that gambling and especially cheating were not in the cards. He believed that nerves of...

Cameron Francis

Cameron Francis... entranced by the shiny boxes, rice bowls, colorful silks in the pages within. On weekends, Cameron would beg his father to drive him to the magic store where he would spend all of his hard earned allowance money on whatever exotic props he could afford. From elementary school up until he left for college, Cameron put these props to good use and performed his share of birthday parties, school events and Cub Scout meetings. During college, however, magic fell to the wayside as he spent more time focusing on becoming an actor (Plus it was really hard to get a date wearing a ruffled shirt and black cape).

One day, while attending graduate school in Washington D.C., Cameron stumbled into a...

Hideo Kato

Hideo Kato(6th May 1943 - )

When Hideo was thirteen years old, he purchased a book of card magic for beginners but he didn't have a deck of cards. He went to a department store to buy one and asked a saleslady, 'Where can I buy a deck of cards?' She asked, 'What are you going to use it for?' he answered, 'To perform magic.' She pointed to a corner of the store where there was a Tenyo Magic Counter. He had never known that magic apparatus was sold to the general public. He bought a set of Multiplying Billiard Balls and both marked and stripper decks. This was the beginning of his magic career.

He went to work part-time as a magic demonstrator for Tenyo when he was nineteen years old while attending...

When I got out of college in 1968, magic was for me a hobby, and a source of income to pay some of the bills. I was unaware of most magic shops and dealers, and magic magazines. As a performer, (in addition to a routine desk job) I used to perform in a Cabaret at Trincas (one of the "in" spots for the younger crowd...
