Storyline

In the country of materialists, Messing is listed as a hypnotist and magician, he is both an experimenter and a test subject, and unofficially becomes Stalin’s own astrologer. He survived two dictators and remained here as an “unusual magician,” a strange predictor whose predictions invariably came true. Wolf Messing kept secrets that there was no one to share with him, secrets that died with him. But the greatest secret was himself, the genius and charlatan Wolf Messing.
