"This amazing DVD is a rich panorama of Howard Thurston's fabulous career and a celebration of the Golden Age of Magic. Never before have so many rare and one-of-a-kind photographs, movies, and voice recordings of a great figure in magic made available --- hundreds of rare images of Howard Thurston appear on the screen, one after another --- ten video segments of Thurston and five recordings of his voice also provide insight into his warmth, dignity, and charm. Thurston's stage presence, evident in films of his shows, confirms that he was the foremost magician of his day, leading the field with "The Wonder Show of the Universe." --- beautifully designed --this DVD is a time machine back to the hey-day of magic when Thurston came to town. Highly recommended."
