Classic Magician Posters: A Visual Archive from The Golden Age of Magic - Paperback

by Jeremy Warlen (Author)

For many years Magicians have impressed, dazzled, confused and even frightened us with their amazing talent. Not only were they masters of illusion but they also had to become masters of marketing to make it big. Posters, flyers and panels were the way back then to get magic shows advertised and get the public excited. During the Golden Age of Magic, there were tons of great magicians fighting to have their name in lights. In this collection, you will get to view Magicians like Houdini, Kellar, Thurston, Herrmann and many more. There are 31 different Magicians and 100 different Advertisements inside this book. All posters, panels, and ads are unique and fun to look at. While the "Golden Age of Magic" is from 1880-1930, there are a couple posters that have been either a little before or a little after those dates, but we tried to keep it very close to that timeline. Each poster page will show the date it was published. This book could be a great coffee table conversation piece or an awesome gift for any magic lover
