This is the third publication from the Miracle Factory and what a great book!! Chung Ling Soo has captured my attention from the time I was beginning in magic. Here is a beautiful limited edition book of almost 500 pages on this amazing magician, William Robinson. Howard Thurston once said of this man, "he knows more about magic than any other living person." The writings, the creations, the routines of this great man have all been collected from various sources into one huge book. You will read his history and beginnings, the reprints of the wonderful William Robinson writings about the art of magic, the truth behind the challenge to Ching Ling Foo, reproductions of the letters to and from Houdini, Soo's magic and routines fully explained, and finally a complete reproduction of three of Robinson's works, Sprit Slate Writing and Kindred Phenomena, Extraordinary Magical Novelties, and Mystical Novelties. Also included are listings and descriptions of his performance programs as well as 40 full color plates of some of Soo's beautiful posters, considered by many collectors to be the most beautiful ever produced. Like all of Miracle Factory publications, this book is a treasure and should be in every magician's library.
