Appendix |
Emil Jarrow was a vaudeville headliner during the early 20th century with a unique act combining magic and stand-up comedy (before the term was invented), that took him around the world for over 50 years. In this book you'll learn not only about Jarrow's life, but the secrets of his magic that fooled millions; from the Palace Theater in New York, the London Palladium, Tivoli Theaters in Australia, and many more. Richly illustrated with hundreds of rare photographs, playbills and news clippings, this is a treat for aficionados of magic, comedy and theater history.
