5.0 out of 5 stars Steinmeyer's writing...
... is at all times crystal clear. His descriptions of performance and method are clear and concise and (to me at least) fascinating. A true magician in life and in his writing, he conjures performances from a half century ago that make the reader feel as if he has actually witnessed the work of the master magicians. Highly recommended.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good Bio
Orgiinally bought this because of the claim it teaches tricks, however the tricks are outdated and mostly bar room oriented. It's plus side is it reveals alot about the magician Alan Wakeling's life and magic inspiration.

5.0 out of 5 stars Steinmeyer at his Best, November 3, 2008
This review is from: The Magic of Alan Wakeling: The Works of a Master Magician (Paperback)
Wakeling was a magical one-of-a-kind who could conjure with the best of them. His design work with Mark Wilson is legendary, but Steinmeyer brilliantly explores the impressive breadth of Wakeling's creativity.

As always, Steinmeyer's writing draws in the reader as he chronicles Wakeling's creations. An absolute must-read for the magical performer.
