- Michael Rose - Here are the facts about a man of magic whose name is known to all, but, until now, whose life story no-one knew. Mention the name Joe Karson. The next word you hear will be Zombie. But, as this book reveals, there is much, much more to learn about the man. His story is presented complete and uncut.

The marriages, the divorces, the business ventures, the business failures, the bouts with sickness and alcoholism and the estrangement from family and friends. The one constant is magic: performing, inventing, creating, producing and merchandising. What tricks? Zombie, of course. But also: VooDoo, The Delben Two Hole Wrist Chopper, Charlie The Wonder Snake, Cig-O-Bill, Chinese Pagoda Mystery, Color Changing Foulard and many more. All in all, this is a fascinating and well-researched book.

This book belongs on the bookshelf of every magical historian and enthusiast. Illustrated with many never-before-published photographs, featuring a Foreword by Lance Burton.

Hardbound. 210 pages.
