Posters from the Golden Age of Magic. Kar-Mi aka Joseph Hollingsworth, Magician Troupe The Fak Hongs, Carrère, Harry Thurston, Kellar, Alexander, Kar-Mi, Magician-As-Devil, Houdini. Collection of Zack Coutroulis. 1894-1930.
Nothing so mystical as vintage magic shows, when audiences were wowed by magic tricks from exotic parts of the world. Even today I'm not sure how a man can be buried alive for 32 days let alone without any electronics or special effects. We'd love to shoot back into 1914 and see some vintage juju. more magic posters on our site.
