Description
Truxa – a biography by Michael Frederiksen: Readers born in the 1970s and earlier will remember Truxa and Gulli. Truxa made headlines in Scandinavia, grabbed front pages for 5 decades and was a true master of PR (public relations). He was a pioneer of the TV medium in the Nordics and used the press to his advantage, just like Hungarian magician Harry Houdini did in the early 1900s. He pushed through political decisions in favor of all artists in Denmark, socialized with royalty, and his network covered the entertainment industry in Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland. Truxa is therefore hard to ignore and deserves a place in cultural history. The story of Truxa is also the story of Danish and Swedish cultural history from the 1930s to the 1990s, as he meets many talented people along the way.
The book is in Danish. Written by Michael Frederiksen, who since 1998 has worked as a magician, lecturer, author, with teambuilding and much more.
“This is the most comprehensive book about the famous mind reader couple that I have read. We follow Erik Kurt Bang/Truxa from his birth on November 7, 1919 to his death on September 12, 1996. His lifelong partner on stage and second wife Gulli was born March 7, 1925 and died June 30, 1997. Michael has written a compelling and interesting book about the couple, and he has found information that, at least for me, was new. I highly recommend the book to anyone who wants to know more about the famous Truxa couple.”
-Christer Nilsson, Sveriges Magi Arkiv
“…a sober, confident review of an exciting and varied artist life. And the book is richly illustrated with photos, posters and newspaper ads. There is extensive and thorough research behind it. And the Circus Museum has – once again – proved to be a goldmine when it comes to retrieving historical source material. It is fortunate that his memory is preserved. And it is gratifying that circus books of quality are still being written. The book deserves to be read because it provides a fine insight into a bygone era and because it preserves the memory of a magician who – perhaps – was the greatest of his generation.”
– Jørgen Lorenzen, reviewed for Danish Circus Friends/Cirkusbladet
