If magic could ever claim to have a folk hero, his name would be Theodore "Ted" Annemann.
A prolific writer, a prodigious inventor, and profound performer, Annemann pioneered his own iteration of the bullet catch, published Practical Mental Effects-a foundational text on mentalism, and founded seminal magic periodical, The Jinx all before passing away tragically at the age of 34.
In 1992, 50 years after Anneman's flame was extinguished, Max Abrams wrote Annemann: The Life and Times of a Legend, the definitive collection of all things Annemann.
Half biography, half magic book, and paced like a thriller, The Life and Times of a Legend is the complete story of one of magic's most enigmatic figures. Across a breathtaking 622 pages, Abrams guides his readers on an unforgettable journey.
Within this tome you'll find every last article that Annemann ever published (and many that never appeared in print before this book). You'll hear first-hand accounts of his brilliance and get exclusive commentary on his life's work from those who knew him and those who admired him. And you'll be dazzled with breathtaking photos that paint a picture not just of a magician, but of a man.
