Will Goldston

Will Goldston

Will Goldston, (1878-1948), was a popular English stage magician in the first half of the twentieth century.

He was born in the city of Liverpool and became interested in the subject at the age of eleven. As well as being a performer he was involved in the merchandising of "magic tricks" and was employed by the Gamages department store in central London, 1905-1914. During this time he edited the "Magician Annual" (1907-1912) and, in 1912, "Will Goldston's Exclusive Magical Secrets" in an edition of one thousand that was republished in 1977 [ [http://www.magicnook.com/forum/exclusivesecrets.htm Exclusive Magical Secrets by Will Goldston ] ] . Later in his life he was noted as the person who cracked the "Zancig Code" used by the Danish illusionists of that name and was employed to 'prove' the authenticity of mediums and similar people.
