Synopsis "Rameses the Forgotten Star (in English)"
Rameses, the "Egyptian Wonderworker" was an illusionist of the Edwardian era. Born Albert Marchinski in Poland in 1876, he grew up in London in a distinctly middle class home. But as Rameses, he achieved financial and artistic successes beyond the dreams of most entertainers. His fast-moving, exciting and colorful illusions took him to the stage of London s prestigious Palladium eight times. In addition, he played England's top theaters and made triumphant tours of America, South Africa, and Europe. The highlight of his career was perhaps an appearance on the very first Royal Variety Performance attended by The King & Queen of England. Despite his theatrical triumphs, it was the stage that proved Rameses undoing. Little has been written about Rameses life and magic even though his was a singular approach to illusions and he enjoyed a career most magicians would envy. Thanks to Christopher Woodward s diligent research, his story can now be told. Rameses the Fogotten Star tells a previously unknown rags to riches story that ends back in rags. Along the way, readers learn the secrets behind Rameses' illusions (including his spectacular levitation), thrill at his theatrical conquests, and see how quickly that success slipped away. A 132 page deluxe clothbound edition, illustrated with rare photographs and memorabilia, color plates, complemented by a satin bookmark ribbon.
