Magic without Mirrors; An
Autobiographical Account: Born and brought up in mid-Wales, David
Conway has returned home to his birthplace after many years spent abroad,
first as a student in Paris and Strasbourg, then, after a diplomatic posting
to Brussels, as Principal Director of the European Patent Office in Munich. He
has also been a Civil Servant in London.
His first book, "Magic: an Occult
Primer", attracted considerable media attention when it appeared
in 1972. Still in demand on both sides of the Atlantic, it was followed
by two further books, "The Magic of Herbs" and "Secret Wisdom": the occult
universe explored, both similarly well received. One reviewer predicted
that the author would become a cult figure, especially among the young,
but he had no such ambitions. Only now has he emerged from seclusion to
describe what it's like to grow up learning how to be a magician. His is an
extraordinary story, stylishly told, one that will appeal as much to readers
with little or no interest in magic as to those fully committed to its
practice. This remarkable book may
yet turn David Conway into the cult figure that was predicted. Whether he
likes it or not. [BMAGMIR]
