Booth s act included conjuring tricks, lightning cartooning, sleight-of-hand, mind-reading, illusions and quick change impersonations. It s possible that he met Paul while appearing at the Egyptian Hall in Piccadilly, England s Home of Mystery .
It was there in 1896, that Hampstead-based magician David Devant showed some of the first films in the UK, on a theatograph made by Robert Paul. Booth appeared in shows for both Devant and Egyptian Hall managers Maskelyne and Cooke, but in the early days of cinema he went from performing tricks between the so-called animated photographs to appearing in them.

Review: Love is the Way
By Bishop Michael Curry, with Sara Grace | Avery, An imprint of Random House
264 pages – $27.00
“The way of love is how we stay decent during indecent times.”
Bishop Michael Curry
I’d be surprised if you know who Bishop Curry is, the author of “Love Is The Way”, by name alone. Good for you if you do.
But if you saw Curry give his sterling homily on the redemptive power of love at the royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle at Windsor Castle on May 19, 2018, you’ll recognize him immediately.
Curry is the presiding bishop and primate of The Episcopal Church. Elected in 2015. He’s the first African-American to lead the denomination which is non-territorial. A noted advocate for human rights, Bishop Curry is recognized as one of the most popular preachers in the English language. He and his wife, Sharon, have two daughters, Rachel and Elizabeth. They live in North Carolina.
