AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'The Wizard of the Wire presents a history of Con Colleano (pronounced Ka-lee-no), one of the world's greatest circus artists. Mark St Leon, a circus historian, has produced an impressive work that is well illustrated with photographs, circus programs, sketches and handbills. The text is interspersed with reminiscences from Colleano himself, from his wife, from other family members, and from associates in the industry.' (Introduction)

    'After three years (1992-94) and six issues, this will be my last issue as general editor. The previous general editor, Dr Kingsley Palmer, also edited six issues (1989-91), although two cases do not make a pattern (the previous general editor, Dr David Horton, edited ten issues). The termination of my time as general editor coincides with the appointment of a new Director of Research, Dr Mary Edmunds, who will also take over the journal. We wish Mary every success in her new position and particularly in her role as general editor. We also hope that you, the readers, will continue to reap profit and enjoyment from the flagship publication of the Institute.' (Editorial introduction)
