with Terry Nosek & Neil Tobin

Tom Palmer was no ordinary magician. He wasn’t even three ordinary magicians. After making his reputation as an award-winning comedy-magic performer, he ditched it all to become pioneer of bizarre magick, Tony Andruzzi; then wrote and performed under yet a third persona, Masklyn ye Mage. Under one or more of these guises he built pieces for major illusionists, published his own influential magic periodical, headed a witch coven, ran a magic shop, created highly collectible handmade books, hosted an infamous alcohol-fueled annual convention, testified to the Warren Commission on the Kennedy assassination, married four times, and has continued to impact the world of magic 20 years after his death. Get to know him through his own words and through those who knew him. And discover an unforgettable life brimming with hilarious, touching, and outrageous stories-made all the more amazing by the fact that some of them are actually true. Casewrapped hardcover: 535 pages, illustrated.
