Island magician Greg Chapman has decided to make magical history, in the form of a book about the history of the art of magic.

Chapman: I hope people find the stories as interesting as I do
Greg, who regularly performs at the Isle of Wight Steam Railway, has been performing magic professionally for over sixteen years, and has always had an interest in the tricks and magicians from the past. 

“I really started in professional magic when I saw a film about Harry Houdini and decided to learn escapology.

“From then on, I have read as many books on magic and the magicians of the past, and have always thought about sharing some of the fascinating stories in book form.

“It feels wonderful to have now written this book, and hope people find the stories as interesting as I do.”
