Victorian Magic @ Richard D. Gardner Library

In recognition of Warren County's Bicentennial Celebration, the library will explore the "Golden Age" of magic, from Jean Robert-Houdin through George Melies. The connection between technology and magic will be explored, and several classic magic effects will be described and demonstrated. Hear the story of Chung Ling Soo, fatally wounded on stage during his "bullet catch" act-and learn his greatest secret!
