Hi

I'm searching for everything magicial of the Victorian Age. Was there anything special for the magicians in this period of time? Which magicians left their marks then?

Thank you a lot for helping me

Start with Charles Bertram, Alexander Herrmann and Compars Herrmann.

Also, find a copy of Milbourne Christopher's Panorama of Magic and his Illustrated History of Magic, both of which are now available in paperback.

Bill gave you some good starting suggestions for performers and history books. Here are some other reference books that may be of interest:

Geoffrey Lamb's Victorian Magic (London, 1976). A must given your interests.

Thomas Sawyer's Victorian-Age Conjuring Books: A Guide for Collectors and Bibliographers (Santa Ana, CA, 1991). Probably only of interest if you decide you really want to delve deeply into this era.

Stephen Forrester's A Bibliography of Classic Authors in Magic and Related Arts (Calgary, 1993). Another good bibliographical resource for Victorian-era magic literature.

John Turner's Victorian Arena: The Performers. A Dictionary of British Circus Biography (Formby, England, 1995). Many magicians are listed in this guidebook.

Arprey Vere's Ancient and Modern Magic (London & New York, ca. 1880). A book which especially reflects Victorian-era conjuring.

Robert Wood's Victorian Delights (London, 1967). A wonderful book which reproduces advertising materials for all facets of life (including magicians); really gives you a flavor for life in that era.

Other Magicians from that era would have been John Wyman, Jr. and an Irish Magician by the name of Professor Kerrigan.
