My Magic Husband - Howard Thurston Unmasked - Grace Thurston

Grace Thurston.  My Magic Husband:  Howard Thurston Unmasked.  2006.  "I was a naive, virginal young lady of 15, and the man was one of the most gifted and bizarre personalities the world has known.  He was, at 29, an amazing master of legerdemain."  So begins the story of Howard Thurston's first of four wives.  Grace Thurston talks of their relationship with William Robinson (before becoming Chung Ling Soo),  fooling Leon Herrmann with the Thurston Rising Cards, and even discloses the real method, not the bogus method given in the 1901 Howard Thurston's Card Tricks. When first shown a copy, Grace proclaims "It's all wrong." Howard replies "You don't think I'm going to tell them how to really do any important tricks, do you?"  8 1/2 x 11, 190 pages hard bound in dust jacket.  Limited to 500 copies.  

This presents the early Thurston he didn't want you to know about.
