Ade Duval - Silken Sorcerer
" '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.
