Winston Freer (1910-1981) was one of magic's cleverest inventors. Current innovators like Gaetan Bloom consider him a genius and a hero. U. F. Grant said Freer was fifty years ahead of the rest of the magic world.
In this collection of rare material, you will learn some of Winston Freer's most famous secrets: freezing ice in his bare hand, his no-key Linking Rings, his uncanny rope methods, growing a real tree by magic, and other impossibilities.
The Adventures of Winston Freer collects Freer's booklets and articles with an incredible collection of his letters, memorabilia, news items, sketches, and notes to provide an unprecedented look at this brilliant creator. You'll even see a brief video of Freer performing his suspension in 1941! From his early beginnings as "Aladdin" through the controversy over his one-man surrounded suspension (Annemann thought it sounded so impossible, it must be a hoax!) to his sad end in psychiatric care, this CD will reveal the man behind some of the most daring and creative magic of our time.
(Note: Stay tuned for our friend Gene Matsuura's long-planned Winston Freer book. We'll be in line to buy one when it's finally published, and you should be, too!)
