Hellis In Wonderland by Will Houstoun

Despite Professor Hellis‘s performances at prestigious venues like The Royal Polytechnic Institution and The Brighton Aquarium, and his mentorship of magicians such as Professor Hoffmann and Dr. Holden, little has been documented about his contributions to magic. Hellis in Wonderland addresses this gap, allowing enthusiasts to explore and learn the magic techniques as taught by Hellis himself. This work is derived from a handwritten notebook in Peter Lane’s collection, detailing the lessons Hellis imparted to his students. It is likely that this material was also shared with Professor Hoffmann and Dr. Holden, which left a lasting impression on David Devant. Now, over a century later, you can uncover the secrets behind Hellis’s esteemed reputation.

Hellis in Wonderland is a beautifully crafted hardcover book featuring a dust jacket with gold foil accents on the front and spine. Spanning four hundred pages, it includes a sixteen-page color section showcasing reproductions of Hellis‘s artifacts. The first edition is limited to five hundred copies, each signed and numbered by the author.

Pages: 400 – Dimensions: 9.5″ x 6.5″ – Hardcover – Photo Illustrated

REVIEWS

“It is encouraging to see a young man take an interest in the history of our Art, and Hellis in Wonderland is a worthy contribution to the literature of magic.”
“Admittedly, this material can be classified as arcane. But it is delightfully so… Along with his previous annotated work, The Notebook, this volume establishes Will Houstoun as a new champion of magic’s past. I look forward to seeing what he will uncover next.”
“The entire project is a treat – an inexpensive adventure in time travel for any reader with some imagination and a passion for card magic and, perhaps, an interest in its history. Climbing into its pages, we get to spend some time enjoying our shared passion with another enthusiast, who, far more like us than different, happened to be doing his tricks a couple of hundred years ago. If that isn’t magic, I don’t know what is.”
“In this pleasantly produced volume, Hellis and Houstoun combine efforts to shine a supplementary light on the history of a fruitful period in conjuring… Mr. Houstoun has once again succeeded in presenting to us a truly unique work that replenishes our history.”
