Illusion Show by David Bamberg

Perhaps no family had deeper roots in magic than the Bambergs — seven generations of magicians reportedly dating back to the early 1700’s. The last of the Bamberg conjurors, David, spent thirty-five years on the road as the world renowned Fu Manchu. His autobiography — Illusion Show — details his globetrotting adventures and provides a candid and perceptive look at life with one of the great travelling illusion shows. There is no hype here; this conversational book is what autobiographies ought to be. Orson Welles understandably called this “the greatest magic biography.”
