I’m reading an absolutely terrific book. It’s, “Carter Beats the Devil
” by Glen David Gold. I’m about half way through and it has absolutely gripped my imagination and attention. It is a fictionalized account of Charles Carter who was a magician in the early 20th century. He hails from San Francisco and there are references to places I know which are always neat. I haven’t yet gotten to the place where he’s going to beat the Devil or, in fact, have read anything about a Devil unless it had something to do with Mysterioso, an arch rival magician, who Carter vanquished with the help of Houdini. You can see more of his posters at http://www.magicgallery.com/Carter.htm

sounds interesting, I might look it up next time I visit b&n.
Thank you for the correction, I didn't notice it until you pointed it out.
Thank you for the picture idea on my blog, I'll consider brownies...maybe with wings and a halo?
