Review:
I really enjoyed this book. Ever since I read about lulu in a book that I got as a gift I was rather hooked. This is one of two books I have about her and her act. This one is much more detailed, and really rather interesting. Granted it doesn’t explain a lot of “tricks” but that’s cool, I didn’t buy it for the tricks. There’s much more to magic than just the tricks- history, presentation, the act, etc. Its just really cool to read others opinions on acts and the tricks used, how they were used, should be used, etc. I would recommend this book to any one interested in history and/or Lulu and her type of acts.



Overall
Great 8/10.

I doubt many of the new kids will even know of her name.
I bet many of the oldies do know of her, or have heard her name, or of the act.
