Masters of Mystery

From the campfires of ancient tribes to the bright neon lights of Las Vegas, a concise history of illusionists throughout history. Featuring interviews with top magicians of today (such as Lance Burton, Eugene Burger, and Jeff McBride), Masters of Mystery uncovers the origins of the many modern tricks that still make audiences wonder "How did they do that?" Beginning with the magicians of ancient Egypt who translated age-old beliefs into physical acts of illusion, to the religious ceremonies that gave early magic makers their first platform for performance.
