Friday 56 & #BookBeginnings: How to Win Friends

For Book Beginnings:

On May 7, 1931, the most sensational manhunt New York City had ever known had come to its climax. After two weeks of search, "Two Gun" Crowley--the killer, the gunman who didn't smoke or drink--was at bay, trapped in his sweetheart's apartment on West End Avenue.

For Friday 56:

But in addition to that, Thurston had a genuine interest in people. He told me that many magicians would look at the audience and say to themselves, "What a bunch of of suckers out there, what a bunch of hicks; I'll fool them all right." But Thurston's method was totally different. He told me every time he went on stage he said to himself: "I am grateful because these people come to see me. They make it possible for me to make my living in an agreeable way. I'm going to give them the very best I possibly can."
