Many years ago in the busy city of Copenhagen lived two magicians. These magicians were in a constant feud to see who could pull off the most magnificent spectacle of illusion. The two also had tried to debunk each others tricks afterwards.
The first magician was Frederick Potter. Potter grew up in a rough household. His father left him, his brother, and his mother alone after Fred’s tenth birthday. His mother struggled to provide for them both when she was working in the textile industry.
