About the Author

Eligah Boykin Jr. found his calling at age fourteen and fifteen, writing first a novel in the spy-thriller vein of James Bond and THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. and then a three act play based loosely on the legend of Robin Hood. There were inspirations to be found everywhere; from books about Cowboy Sam as well as John Henry and Hercules. While skipping High School Study Hall to continue his studies in Adventure Comics and Hero Tales, he camped out at Skillman Library to read the cases of Sherlock Holmes and the life stories of Douglas Fairbanks Sr. and Orson Welles. None among his peers or mentors saw fi t to ask him how many novels and plays he might be able to write in a lifetime, but he did not have to know before he would go on to amass a body of work in the fields of poetry, the novel, the short story and the fine arts. Now he invites you to peruse his screenplay MISTER MAGIC, and the scripts of two short films for your enjoyment. Even now, the Master Magician from Detroit is drawing open the curtains on his Disappearing Cabinets for someone to step inside. Do we have a volunteer from the audience?
