Magic Without Mirrors: The Making of a Magician
Description
“There is nothing of the phoney or the exhibitionist about David Conway. He is not merely a magician, but a genuine mystic, an intensely private person who is absorbed in what Blake called “the inner worlds†and their mystery....David Conway was brought up in a remote country district of Wales....When he was four he was taken to see a local farmer, Mr. James, (who) remained his chief mentor, introducing him to the basic principles of magic...Someone should persuade him to write about his apprenticeship; from the hints he has dropped, I suspect it would be as fascinating as Carlos Castaneda's accounts of Don Juan, as well as being rather more truthful.†Colin Wilson in his Introduction to David Conway's Magic: an occult primer, 1988
