...most baffling of magical feats. On a dimly lighted stage a coil of rope stiffened at Heger's command, rose slowly into the air. A Hindu boy clambered up the rope, vanished. Armed with a sabre, a second Hindu swarmed up after him, tossed down arms, legs, head, torso. Finally Magician Heger enfolded the bloody members in his robe, then opened it for the Hindu lad to step forth...

Therefore my statue grows, it has to be big. I cannot help it." He thinks the torso the most expressive and important part of the human body, often exaggerates it at the expense of a statue's head. One of his biggest carvings is a stylized group of women and children symbolizing Civilization on the west façade of Manhattan's Rockefeller Center...
