Memoirs of a Magic Queen, the Amazing Life of Adelaide Herrmann

Magician, historian and author Margaret Steele, presents a very special lecture on Adelaide Herrmann (1853-1932), the world’s first great female magician. Ms. Steele is the editor of Madame Herrmann’s recently-published memoir, which finally surfaced in 2010, seventy-eight years after her death. In addition to an image-rich photo lecture on Madame Herrmann’s adventurous life, Ms. Steele will perform some of Herrmann’s signature magic routines. Thursday, March 10, 7:00 p.m. at the Croton Free Library.
