The Magician's Fight!

Résumé du livre

In 2570 B.C.E., a man stood before the court of a king and performed miracles baffling the most learned men present. From a goose he removed the head, then restored it. Other decapitations and restorations followed until an ox was dismembered and, with a mighty incantation shaking even the heavens, was again made whole. This man was 110-year-old Dedi of Ded-Snefru. The king was Kheops, 2nd pharaoh, 4th Dynasty Egypt. Centuries passed. Times changed. Magic darkened synonymous with witchcraft. Sleight of hand performers, once hailed by royalty and immortalized through song and verse, were now cursed as the Devil's own... The dark ages for magic had begun! Illustrated with period facsimiles and photographs.
