Enchanted New York Book Launch

Manhattan has a pervasive quality of glamour—a heightened sense of personality generated by a place whose cinematic, literary, and commercial celebrity lends an aura of the fantastic to even its most commonplace locales. But it is also literally a magic isle, where a long and extravagant line of wizards, illuminati, fortune tellers, magicians, and more have plied their crafts. Join historian and troubadour Kevin Dann to celebrate the release of Enchanted New York: A Journey Along Broadway Through Manhattan’s Magical Past. His guidebook to magical Manhattan traces the arc of American technological alchemies, Mesmeric physicians, wonder-working seers like Madame Blavatsky and Alice Bailey, and chroniclers of the Impossible like Charles Fort and John Keel, to reveal a surprising picture of a city whose ever-changing fortunes have always been founded on magical activity.
