Conus playbill, “The Great Escamoteuring." 1826.

Item Details

Description

Conus. Conus playbill, “The Great Escamoteuring”. Breslau [?], 1826. Letterpress broadside (9 ½ x 15 ½”) heralding a five-day appearance of this legendary sleight-of-hand magician. Old German text. Borders ragged as issued; A. Conus was one of the first magicians to eschew the use of ornamental apparatus, preferring to rely on pure sleight-of-hand. He invented the modern four-ace trick, and performed the cups and balls with balls made of solid copper.
