I sought this series out after it received a 2022 Eisner nomination for “Best Limited Series”. Hocus Pocus is a superb representation of both the breadth and quality that exists in the art form of graphic story-telling. High praise to Professors Wiseman, Worth, and Collver. They chose a most clever and entertaining way to share their love and appreciation for the history of stage magic and the paranormal. This series is a delight packed with gems. 5 stars.

Interesting anecdotes but they almost seem incidental…no real narrative develops, but an excellent micro-history.

Read as part of the anthology. A fun selection of tales about famous magicians with clever games to play.
