Résumé :
Charles Bertram was the quintessential British Society Entertainer of the late Victorian and Edwardian periods. This 360 page saga of the magician who performed for royalty is a fascinating one. The full history from the early years after his birth in 1853 to his death in 1907 provide great insight into what it takes to be a renowned performer. As well as being a wonderful biography, reprinted in their entirety are the works of Bertram in the Modern Conjurer in 1902 as well as numerous magazine articles that most magicians would never see if it weren't for this great work.
