EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic Jasper Maskelyne, an English stage magician who left a lasting mark on history with his incredible skills of illusion. Born in 1902, Maskelyne's talents were not confined to the stage - during World War Two, he used his magic to deceive and confound the enemy in the Middle East.
Maskelyne's exploits during the war have become legendary, as he employed his mastery of deception to mislead German forces and aid Allied efforts. His innovative use of illusions helped to camouflage military installations, create fake tanks and aircrafts, and even make entire cities disappear from view.
In this striking image from 1973 by Mary Evans Picture Library, we see Maskelyne at the height of his powers - a mysterious figure whose legacy continues to fascinate audiences around the world. His story serves as a reminder of the power of creativity and ingenuity in times of conflict, showing that sometimes a bit of magic can make all the difference.
As we gaze upon this historic photograph, we are reminded of Jasper Maskelyne's extraordinary contributions to both entertainment and wartime strategy. His ability to blur the lines between reality and illusion remains an inspiration for generations to come.
