– Early days of the Maskelyne and Devant partnership at St. George’s Hall.
Professional magicians often had lives full of incident, perhaps none more so than Linga Singh who was very popular in the 1920s and 30s. Much of what has been written about Linga Singh is incorrect, simply because journalists and historians have repeated the fictitious stories which came from Linga Singh himself. Nigel Dutt has spent many years researching his grandfather Linga Singh. The story that Nigel summarises is full of information and surprises. Read the PDF here to gain insight into one of magic’s more colourful performers.
Nigel plans to add additional sections which cover in more detail topics such as Linga Singh’s magic, his brushes with the law and other aspects of his life. Over the next few months keep an eye on this website’s What’s New page to make sure you are up to date with this new information.
