And when she married the world-famous magician Herrmann the Great, she knew she had to be part of his show. Addie wanted to shock and dazzle! She would do anything to draw the crowds, even agree to be shot out of a cannon. But when Herrmann the Great died, Addie couldn't disappoint her loyal fans {u2014} the show had to go on. What could she do? She would perform the show all by herself! The true story of one fearless magician's rise to glory.
