In 1910, Ionia, Goddess of Mystery, was the pre-eminent female magician of her time. At the age of twenty-two, she began touring around the European continent with a large illusion show. It was a no-expense-spared theatrical production with a cast of several people, exotic animals, custom scenery, and colorful lithograph posters. Yet, in 1913, after a few years of performances and rave reviews, she vanished without a trace.
