A famous Scottish-born stage magician, philanthropist and debunker of "psychic" fraudsters, John Henry Anderson was also a genuine wizard, one of the last two centuries' most famous proponents of the [[plain sight exploit]].

His [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Henry_Anderson Wikipedia entry] gives most of the salient details of his public life. Anderson was normally scrupulous in keeping his "conjuror's" life separate from the work he did on [[errantry]]; but his work as a stage magician made it extremely simple for him to use wizardry at short notice and in public when there was need.

He was publicly known during his lifetime as "Great Wizard of the North", a title which Anderson allowed the public to think had been passed to him by Sir Walter Scott (also known as "Wizard of the North" previously). But very few people except wizards ever knew how true the title was. In the wizardly community Anderson was famous worldwide for his work with [[elementals]] and [[elemental constructions]], and consulted widely up to the [[planetary]] level.

Despite his great skill as a wizard, Anderson's life was plagued by unfortunate events, money troubles and personal tragedy. Some wizards have theorized that he had courted the [[Lone Power]]'s attentions by being a little too enthusiastically [[astahfrith]] in Earth's [[sevarfrith]] Western culture: but there is no way to tell how much or little truth there may be to this conjecture.
