The Mind Readers

From Washington Irving Bishop to The Amazing Kreskin, the stage magicians known as "mind readers" have performed feats so extraordinary that those who witnessed the demonstrations were dismissed as foolish, or even insane. The mystery proved so difficult to solve that it challenged science, disturbed religion, and bewildered experts in sleight of hand. You’ll learn about the remarkable lives of these performers — and you’ll experience some of their most baffling feats in person, performed by presenter William Pack (himself an accomplished magician).
