I'm looking for as many resouces as I can on Charles Dickens the magician. Effects he performed, presentations, methods, cities, dates, the people who saw him, everything. Any help you guys can offer is appreciated.
thanks! Ben |

This is the book you want “Charles Dickens, Conjurer, Mesmerist and Showman,” by Trevor Dawson.

Check the December issue of the LINKING RING pages 22-29.

I second the Linking Ring piece. Great stuff that talks about the possible link of his love of magic to the writing of A Christmas Carol. Should be fun research at any rate!

Very interesting article, although I think he pushes the link too far.

Yeah, I kind of thought so as well, but interesting nonetheless

I did the Apologies to Dickens card routine by Ron Giesecke for two Christmas parties, including the local SAM/IBM party. It seemed well received. (Actually, I heavily adapted the routine.)
