Description of  The Secret History of Magic: The True Story of the Deceptive Art [Audiobook]

Narrated by Rory Barnett It is a history of people from humble roots, who made and lost fortunes, and who deceived kings and queens. In order to survive, they concealed many secrets, yet they revealed some, and they stole others. They engaged in deception, exposure, and betrayal, in a quest to make the impossible happen. They managed to survive in a world in which a series of technological wonders appeared, which previous generations would have considered magical. Even today, when we now take the most sophisticated technology for granted, we can still be astonished by tricks that were performed hundreds of years ago. The Secret History of Magic reveals how this was done. It is about why magic matters in a world that no longer seems to have a place for it, but which desperately needs a sense of wonder.English | 2018 | MP3 | M4B | ASIN: B07FKPR2ZG | Duration: 10:05 h | 275 MB Peter Lamont, Jim Steinmeyer
