John Northern Hilliard : ウィキペディア英語版 | John Northern Hilliard John Northern Hilliard (born Palmyra, New York State, 1872, died March 14, 1935) was the author of a best-selling book on magic, ''Greater Magic''. Through Eugene Field he obtained his first job as a reporter on the ''Chicago Press'' at the age of 17. He covered the Chicago World's Fair in 1893, the surrender of Sitting Bull, and the bloody Johnson County War in Wyoming. On December 17, 1896, he was a dramatic critic for a Rochester newspaper. He was the last person to see magician Alexander Herrmann aka Herrmann the Great alive before his untimely death on board a train heading to Bradford, Pennsylvania. 〔The Master Magicians by Walter B. Gibson 1966〕 After moving to the ''New York Telegram'' he met magician Howard Thurston and became interested in magic himself. In 1925 he joined Thurston's magic show as an advance man and for the next 10 years toured America, meeting the most talented magicians of his day and recording their creations. He "edited" T. Nelson Downs's book ''The Art of Magic''; he is generally considered to be its author. After his sudden death in 1935 his book, ''Greater Magic'', was published by Thurston and publisher Carl W. Jones in 1938. ==References== 〔
