  Do you like magic? 
  Pick a card, any card. 
  Maybe you’re not much for tricks. But maybe you’ve never met a magician like Bill Hunter. At 102 years old, this World War II Navy veteran and magician has lived a truly magical life: travelling to 19 countries, visiting 42 U.S. states, and performing everywhere from the hospital ward in Sydney where he picked up his first deck of cards, to bringing magic to banquets with astronauts, golf courses, stage shows and even for airline pilots in first class at 100 years old. 
  Known to many as The Indy 500 Magician after performing in the suites at the Indianapolis 500 for 50 years, Bill has spent eight decades bringing wonder and laughter to audiences around the world. 
  Told through Bill’s own words and stories, lovingly compiled by his cousin Emma Lovell, A Life of Magic is a celebration of the  
  extraordinary power of human connection. 
  Because real magic isn’t about the tricks.  
  It’s about the person who brings them to life, and the joy they spark in everyone they meet.

  Tecumseh and Tenskwatawa: The...

  Throughout the 19th century, American settlers pushing across the Western frontier came into contact with diverse American tribes, producing a series of conflicts ranging from the Great Plains to the Southwest, from the Trail of Tears to the Pacific Northwest. Indian leaders like Geronimo became feared and dreaded men in America, and Sitting Bull’s victory over George Custer’s 7th Cavalry at Little Bighorn was one of the nation’s most traumatic military endeavors.  
  	Given this history, Tecumseh’s reputation among Americans has been both the most unique and anomalous. As the leader of the Shawnee, Tecumseh was the most famous Native American of the early 19th century, and he attempted to peacefully establish a Native American nation east of the Mississippi River in the wake of the American Revolution. While Native Americans, especially in the “Old Northwest” (present-day land west of the Appalachian Mountains and east of the Mississippi River), understood and recognized their own, long established territories and those of other tribes, these boundaries and territories were ignored and unappreciated by the incoming settlers.  
  	What makes Tecumseh’s legacy ironic is that the Shawnee were nominally led by a different man altogether, and that man just so happened to be Tecumseh’s brother. Lalawethika’s early life mostly consisted of abject failures, and he became an alcoholic, but in one of his alcohol-soaked stupors, he began to have visions of the Master of Life that turned him into the Open Door, the prophet named Tenskwatawa. It was Tenskwatawa who brought a new vision to the Shawnee, transforming himself from an object of pity and contempt into a religious leader who had thousands of followers. When the Americans fought at Tippecanoe, the gathering of Native Americans who they were attempting to disperse had congregated at a place colloquially known as Prophetstown.
