A Dynasty of Magic

Doreen Woodford and Mary Plackett

The fascination of magicians has appealed to young and not-so-young for many years, and still appeals. This book tells the story of a Deaf father and son whose skill brought them membership of the prestigious Magic Circle. Younger members of the family continue the tradition. Not only has their skill been used to entertain, but also to fund-raise for worthy causes. The book is based on the memories of the son and is well-illustrated with pictures mainly contributed by him from his extensive collection. Published by The British Deaf History Society.
