The Magician Out of Manchuria is pure fantasy -- and it is pure fun! It is the tale of a not-so-simple magician whose curious and meandering wanderings are directed toward the peaceful and prosperous villages of the South. Here he hopes to entertain and amuse -- to his profit -- the local populaces with his magic and chicanery.His companions are the youthful chela, who is unnamed, and the black ass Ng Gk. This robust company is quickly supplemented by no less a figure than the Lustful Queen of La who has been outlawed by the devious conniving and politics of Khan Ali Bok. And there the real fun begins!
