Mandrake The Magician by Florence Falk

A brilliant stage magician who can bend perception with a glance and a gesture uses his powers of illusion, disguise and deduction to combat criminals, occult menaces and shadowy conspiracies; aided by a loyal, super-strong companion and a circle of allies, he travels to exotic locales, outwits gangsters and masterminds with clever tricks and daring rescues, blending pulp-era adventure, mystery and the supernatural into fast-paced crime-fighting tales.
