Autorenporträt
Angelo John Lewis (1839 1919) was a British lawyer and amateur magician who won fame not for performing, but for writing the first English-language book that explained how to perform magic, rather than simply exposing its secrets. Using the pseudonym "Professor Louis Hoffmann," Lewis went on to author several other important books on conjuring, but his enduring legacy remains the monumental "Modern Magic."
