Acts were varied and included singers, comedians, acrobats, dance acts, animal acts, magicians and escapologists as well as male and female impersonators. Shows played to packed audiences. Many people escaped their humdrum lives, working in cotton mills, coal mines or factories up and down the country, by visiting the local theater or music hall. Magicians and illusionists attracted huge crowds all over the country. This book includes the stories of some of the best illusionists as well as specialty acts such as Datas and The Human Fly. Some are still well-known names today, while others will be unheard of by many. Marvel at the feats and lives of the Davenport Brothers, the Great Raymond, David Devant, Carl Hertz and Harry Kellar. Relive the tragedies such as the deaths on stage of Chung Ling Soo and the Great Lafayette. The performers of the late 1800s and early 1900s made way for the many great illusionists and stage artists that we have today.

Paperback. Condition: Good. In this complex world of today, with so many at risk tweens and teens grappling with issues, problems and crises, can a fresh perspective on their trials and tribulations help to turn them around?Shelves and shelves of books have been written about children who are at risk of violent and criminal behavior, but their authors are writing from their academic perches - rather than addressing real experiences in the streets and in the homes of at-risk families.
