Fu Manchu (David Bamberg). TLS from Fu Manchu to Carl Rosini. April 18, 1965. Fu Manchu writes in great detail about a book he is working on, calling it a “rather pretentious undertaking.” He goes on to describe its contents as including details on the Bamberg family, his career, and explanations of illusions. The biographical portion would became Illusion Show, and the explanations of the effects appeared in one of Dr. Robert Albo’s works. Bamberg also discusses Houdini, Goldin, and Malini. On one 4to sheet of pictorial letterhead. Left edge folded and taped, else good. Signed “Dave.”
