     David Bamberg — also known as the great illusionist Fu Manchu — was not only a superb magician but also the star of several detective movies in which he solved crimes by magic, performing his illusions along the way: the Bullet Catch, Substitution Trunk, Water Cell escape, Guillotine, Eggs from Hat, Second Sight, and many other routines.
     Our new Fu Manchu's Mysteries 3-DVD set is the first time these films have been available on DVD. Now you can appreciate the brilliance and artistry of Bamberg first-hand. It's a must-see for illusionists and magic historians, and the films make a fun magic matinee to enjoy.
     Each disk of Fu Manchu's Mysteries includes a full plot synopsis by William H. McIlhany so you won't miss a moment of the plot (for those non-Spanish-speaking viewers, don't worry...the action and language are easily grasped at even a casual viewing!)
     All footage has been remastered for DVD, and the set includes a gallery of bonus still images.
     Fu Manchu's Mysteries was created in collaboration with magic video historian William H. McIlhany.
