Professor Hoffmann is the pen name of London-born Angelo John Lewis (1839-1919). A barrister by vocation, Professor Hoffmann was by avocation a magician. We are indebted to him for the books he wrote about magic, especially Modern Magic (1876), More Magic(1889), and target="_top">Later Magic (1903). Professor Hoffmann was the first person to really teach people in English how to perform magic tricks for entertainment. We owe a debt of gratitude to Professor Hoffmann not only for his own writings, but for translating the works of Robert-Houdin, "The Father of Modern Magic," from the original French into English: The Secrets of Conjuring and Magic (1877) and The Secrets of Stage Conjuring (1881). Houdini (1874-1926) described Professor Hoffmann as “the Brightest Star in the Firmament of Magical Literature.”… (meer)
