Fogel was a very interesting character.
There's a chap who I think is the historian at the Magic Circle who lectures on Fogul and Houdin amongst others and I attended one of his lectures at the beginning of the year.
To be honest, I though that it was going to be a rather dull lecture but was very pleasantly surprised and I thoroughly enjoyed it. If you get the chance to go then I'd recommend it.
I may check out this book myself and thanks for the nod.

It's not really an optical illusion - it just looks like one!
