T. A. Waters

Thomas Alan Waters was an American magician, writer about magic, and science fiction author.

History

Born to Thurston Alan Waters and Pauline Ruth Waters, T. A. Waters was a professional magician and magic author. He wrote several booklets on mentalism and bizarre magic which were later reassembled in his big book Mind, Myth & Magick. At one point, he was the librarian at the Magic Castle, in Los Angeles.
Waters appears as a character in the Lord Darcy fantasy series by Randall Garrett and in Michael Kurland's The Unicorn Girl . He himself wrote The Probability Pad, a sequel to The Unicorn Girl; these two novels, together with Chester Anderson's earlier The Butterfly Kid, make up the collaborative Greenwich Village Trilogy.
