Here is one of magic's most fascinating personalities giving the secrets of how he achieved everything that every young magician would wish to achieve. How magic earned him a luxury cruise ship, a luxury private airplane and stardom on TV, the theater and many movies.

John takes us back to his early days and tells how his career actually started when he produced an egg from the pocket of a young friend whilst at Sunday School. You'll hear how a little bit of magical-style misdirection got him his first big break teaching Clark Gable card moves for a film; Clarke fluffed it all and Calvert was filmed in the end. He reveals one of his most treasured secrets: he tells how you can escape from chains using a padlock that is supplied by a member of the audience without using gimmicks or stooges.

Travel into the world of magic with perhaps the greatest magician of all time. Complete with extracts from his great USA show. A treasure recording that can never be topped and perhaps the best recording in this series of recordings produced by Martin Breese.
