Levitation tells the story of the most dazzling gravity-defyingillusion ever performed on stage, and features a cast of characters that seemsalmost too good to be true: John Neville Maskelyne, the very properscientist-magician and the trick's inventor; Harry Kellar, the brash Americanwho fails to buy the illusion, so steals it instead; Howard Thurston, thehandsome and charismatic performer who inherits the act from Kellar; and GuyJarrett, the rough-and-tumble engineer who perfects the levitation and guides usthrough the unfolding drama. But true it is -- you'll never look at magic, or the mysteries of science -- the same way again.
