Will Goldston, (1878–1948), was a popular English stage magician in the first half of the 20th century.
He was born in the city of Liverpool and became interested in the subject at the age of eleven. As well as being a performer he was involved in the merchandising of "magic tricks" and was employed by the Gamages department store in central London, 1905-1914. During this time he edited the
Magician Annual
(1907–1912) and, in 1912,
Will Goldston's Exclusive Magical Secrets
in an edition of one thousand that was republished in 1977. Later in his life he was noted as the person who cracked the "Zancig Code" used by the Danish illusionists of that name and was employed to 'prove' the authenticity of mediums and similar people.
Will Goldston was the founder and president of the London-based Magicians' Club which he founded in 1911.
