Meet the Steve Martin you've never seen before: the 11-year-old already performing near-perfect sleight-of-hand magic tricks; the 13-year-old selling guidebooks at Disneyland and playing pranks on Magic Kingdom visitors by night; the 20-year-old stretching his comedic wings as a Vaudeville entertainer with a girl who would later become Elvis Presley's lead singer; and the 21-year-old Emmy award winning, Hollywood whiz kid. This is no ordinary celebrity biography pieced together by an outsider. Steve Martin and author Morris Walker had a close relationship growing up in the 1950s and '60s in Orange County, California.
