Kurt Volkmann's Seminal A History of the Art of Conjuring

Since this is coming from Conjuring Arts I figure it is going to be a special set of books. Can anyone tell me about Volkmann and whatever history there is behind his research and writing?

Re: Another Genii Convention in 2022?

Aren’t you bored with Florida by now? California would be a much better choice. We have a mouse park, the one and only Magic Castle and a magic mountain to say nothing of the magic of film all over Hollywood. Why not give us on this coast a chance to attend without the cross country trip? Peace, Joe
