Will Goldston (1878–1948) was a British magician, publisher, and historian whose work significantly shaped early twentieth-century conjuring, particularly through his emphasis on paper-based magic. Known for popularizing paper tricks involving tearing, folding, and restoration, Goldston highlighted the theatrical potential of ordinary materials, reinforcing the principle that effective magic depends more on method and presentation than on elaborate apparatus.
