Trivia
Though he began as a reporter, Gibson had loved stage magic since
childhood and collaborated with Harry Houdini, Howard Thurston, and Harry Blackstone.
During the 1930s and 1940s, Gibson wrote for magazines, some self-help
books, new magic books, and two novels. When he met (not his first
wife) Pearl Raymond, a professional magician, he launched into writing
novels in a serious way. Later in life, Gibson lectured on magic and
earned two awards from the Academy of Magical Arts.
