Philip Treece is a magic historian, publisher and bookseller. His research warrants a wide audience and I was therefore very pleased when he agreed to have some of his blog articles published on the Davenport Collection website. The magician Ernest Sewell has been of particular interest to him.
Ernest Sewell had quite an impact on the British magic scene, not least through his very popular magic sets aimed at children. Philip’s article covers this important aspect of Sewell’s career.
