- The Fashionable Science of Parlour Magic
- Description
- John Henry Anderson is one of the first great names of modern magic. He claimed that the title of ‘The Great Wizard of the North’ was conferred on him by Sir Walter Scott. His belief in the importance of creating a performance that was entertaining and dazzled the audience rather than just being a demonstration of skill helped established magic as an important fixture of the stage.
