Absence of Moves - Ken Hawes - Bog

A Magical Autobiography
Absence of Moves is a seventy-year life story, from birth to retirement and beyond. Ken writes affectionately about his childhood, family, and school days in the fifties and sixties. His struggle with shyness as a teenager is portrayed with honesty, as is the sometimes strained relationship with his father. Excerpts from his diaries are inserted throughout which give an insight into his feelings through all parts of his life.
Many aspects of Ken's life are covered, from work and relationships, to fatherhood and single parenthood. The main strand running through it involve his experiences as a performing magician. From early interest at the age of eleven, first public performances, and eventually after taking advice from those kind enough to help and guide him, the road to success.
Ken pays tribute to them all.
The book is funny, interesting, and absorbing on many levels making it a captivating read.
