Film of John Ramsay showing the Davenports around his garden in Ayr Scotland

In the world of magic, John Ramsay was known as a charming character and an incredibly skilled exponent of close-up magic. Across the middle of the 20th century, he was internationally recognised as being at the top of his game. Less known to magicians is the fact that he was also a keen horticulturalist, winning many prizes in this area. In this film clip John Ramsay proudly shows Wynne and Gus Davenport around his garden in Ayr, in Scotland.
