Ade Duval - Silken Sorcerer HARDBOUND
" 'DUVAL' It should be in every
young magician's library. Therein lies the true secrets of magic.
Seek and ye shall find. ...It is a vital contribution to our art." MARVYN ROY "Charvet recounts
the story of Ade Duval's life well, making for quick reading....And
yet this is not only a 'no tricks' text. Anyone seeking a peek at how areal pro used solid stand-up material
to his advantage will benefit fromstudying his routines and secrets. ...With only 500 copies available... alongwith the interesting
and mostly unavailable information inside, those bookswon't be available for long." GABE FAJURI - MAGIC MAGAZINE
The amazing story of
one of the greatest magicians of the 20th Century - who you've probably never
heard of before! Ade Duval's
career took him around the world with an act that critics called one of the most beautiful and baffling in magic. Duval's
"A Rhapsody in Silk" appeared at such famous spots as the Palace Theater
in New York, Radio City Music Hall (4 times!), London Palladium, Wintergarden
in Berlin, Rex Theater in Paris, Tivoli Theaters in Australia, and many more. He made the transition
to television with a completely different manipulative act featuring his original "Smoking
Thumb" routine that amazed audiences (and magicians) multiple-times on
the Ed Sullivan Show and other top programs of the 1950's. Tragically, Duval's
career and life was cut short at the top of his career. This is his warm and remarkable story, much of it told in Duval's
own words. PLUS: The Magic of Duval. Step backstage and
learn the secrets of his landmark routines, including the Multiplying Golf Balls and Smoking Thumb. And,
Duval's book, A Rhapsody in Silk,
explaining the inner workings of his silk production routine that amazed a
generation, has been enlarged and reprinted in this volume. This is a wonderful
read for the magic performer, collector or show business fan.
