I'm just wondering if this is any good! Any thoughts? :)

I really enjoyed it but then I always enjoy Steinmeyer's stuff. Until I read it I didn't realise how hand to mouth the stage life was at the time. He mentions on one occasion Thurston standing on the deck of a ship to England practising a coin vanish and he fluffs it and drops the coin overboard, only realising afterwards on checking his pockets that was the only money he had. :shock:

Definitely worth a read, as is his biography of Ching Ling Su (aka William Robinson).

I'm reading it at the moment and loving it. But I too always love reading Jim's stuff...
