Giuseppe Pinetti (1750-1800) was one of early magic's first stars, with sold-out shows and command performances throughout Europe in the late eighteeenth century. His elegant theatre show, with its dazzling card tricks, stage routines, and automata, marked a historic step forward for magicians as magic's first onstage spectacle.

You also receive a complete biographical essay, plus profiles of Pinetti by Evans and Clarke. The disk features 175 Pinetti news items, the greatest overview of his career ever assembled, ranging from news articles to reviews to show notices, covering his success in England in 1784 to later press mentions.
