Suzy Wandas: The Lady with the Fairy Fingers by Kobe and Christ Van Herwegen

Suzy Wandas rose from the humblest beginnings to become a groundbreaking legend in the world of magic.

Born as Jeanne Van Dyck in 1896 in the back of a fairground wagon in Brussels, nothing suggested she would one day become an international sensation. Yet under her stage name Suzy Wandas, she defied expectations and became a pioneering sleight-of-hand artist whose refined techniques left audiences across Europe, the UK, and America spellbound.

In a time when the magic scene was dominated by men, Suzy Wandas stood out with her grace, innovation, and flawless performances. Her rise to fame came despite the hardships of two world wars, personal loss, and persistent gender barriers. From modest fairground stages to grand variety theaters, she captivated audiences everywhere.

The Lady with the Fairy Fingers is a stunning, true story of resilience, talent, and passion. This full-color, hardbound volume spans 204 pages and is richly illustrated with rare posters, photographs, and personal memorabilia—most of it previously unseen. More than a biography, it’s a tribute to variety entertainment, a personal lens on women's empowerment, and a celebration of pure magic.
