Description
Early and scarce, only poster of Kellar signed by artist (Rimmann). measures 20 by 30 inches.from Wikipedia Harry Kellar (July 11, 1849 – March 10, 1922) was an American magician who presented large stage shows during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.Kellar was a predecessor of Harry Houdini and a successor of Robert Heller. He was often referred to as the "Dean of American Magicians" and performed extensively on five continents. One of his most memorable stage illusions was the levitation of a girl advertised as the "Levitation of Princess Karnack", which was similar to an illusion invented by John Nevil Maskelyne, from which Kellar copied by bribing one of Maskelyne's theater staff.He was a longtime customer of the Martinka Magic Company, which built many of his illusions and sets, including the "Blue Room".)
