Wolf messing–the legendary entertainer,who performed as a mentalist,predicting the future and reading the thoughts of the audience.In 1971 he received the title of honored artist of the RSFSR.

 He was born into a Polish-Jewish village of góra Kalwaria,which at the time of the appearance of the film was part of the Russian Empire.The wolf family was numerous – parents raised 4 sons.They lived quite poor,and children from an early age he worked hard helping his father and mother. In addition,the head of the family, Hersek messing was very pious and strict man,so all the children adhere to established house rules.

 Wolf from birth suffered from somnambulism,often wandering in the dream and then suffered from headaches.However,it cured using the traditional methods – using the bowl of cold water set in front of the bed.Getting your feet wet,the child woke up, and later sleepwalking and disappeared.In 6 years, the boy began to attend a Jewish school, the heder, where he studied the Talmud and learned by heart the prayers in this book.The Rabbi who taught the disciples noted a remarkable memory of the little girl contributed to the enrollment of the teenager in Yeshibot,a special school that trains clergy.Wolff strongly opposed this,but his decision was affected by an unexpected event which he will take his first vision.Once in front of him in the darkness stood a figure in white and calling himself the Angel foretold him a great future in the robe of a Rabbi.A devout boy believed and only many years later learned that it was podgovorenny father the tramp, who played the role of messenger of God. Wolf messing,as a legendary person,surrounded by all sorts of rumors and speculation.The same applies to his predictions.Oil poured into the fire, and a book of memoirs,published in the journal "Science and life" in 1965,allegedly written by a telepath.Subsequently,it was found that these "memories" fabricated Mikhail Bouncers,head of the Department of science "Komsomolskaya Pravda".But causing a huge number of errors and presenting inaccurate facts,the author has raised a new wave of popularity of wolf messing.
