Hardcover. Zustand: New. 'Fake news' is considered a modern phenomenon, but improbable stories have gained widespread credence for centuries. Ian Keable, a professional magician and one-time hoaxer himself, unearths the tall tales that tricked the public of Georgian England: a man who promised to climb into a bottle on the Londo…n stage; a Chinese temple in the clouds; and a woman who gave birth to a litter of rabbits.

Hardback. Zustand: New. In 1749, a newspaper advertisement appeared declaring that a man would climb inside a bottle on the stage of a London theatre. Although the crowds turned up in their hundreds to witness the trick, the performer didn't. Over the following decades, elaborate jokes and fanciful tales would continue to bamboo…zle people across England. In The Century of Deception, magician and historian Ian Keable tells the engrossing stories of these eighteenth-century hoaxes and those who were duped by them. The English public were hoodwinked time and time again, swallowing whole tales of rapping ghosts, a woman who gave birth to rabbits, a levitating Frenchman in a Chinese Temple and outrageous astrological predictions. Not only were the hoaxes widely influential, drawing in celebrities such as Samuel Johnson, Benjamin Franklin and Jonathan Swift, they also inflamed concerns about 'English credulity'.
