A slim illustrated broadside printed on tan paper announcing and describing a performance by the Austrian magician and showman De La Mano here billed as French. His real name was Zell Dreitzehn and he performed for several years in the United States before he himself disappeared in upstate New York in 1882. The broadside offers a "Night of Mystery" and "Two Hours of Fun" for attendees who should expect to be treated to illusions such as "The Bird Cage of Leah" "The Mesemerized Cards" "The Aerial Suspension" "The Witches Knot" "The Chinese Paradox" "The Great 'Hindoo Box' Mystery" and "a Thousand and One other tricks." Three small illustrations depict scenes from De La Mano's act including the transformation stand the Inexhaustible Bottle and the Miser's Dream. The Inexhaustible Dream illustration is credited to "Mitchell Buffalo." <br> <br> The broadside claims: "This is no exhibition of doubtful merit but a permanently established and legitimate entertainment exhibited with pride and pleasure. Prof. De La Mano has traveled extensively in the Southern and Eastern States and has gained a reputation as a Magician excelled by none." <br> <br> A rare theatrical advertisement from a bygone age with only two copies listed in OCLC at the American Antiquarian Society and the Clements Library.

1930List313Massachusetts 1930. 8 ½ by 11 inch leatherette binder filled with correspondence. An interesting small archive of material from the semi-professional club magician George Corrigan consisting of letters written by other magicians most concerning the sale and trade of tricks. Corregan was the managing editor of the Sphinx published by Boston Assembly No. 9 and wrote a humorous personal interest column. He also like many magicians of the era traded tricks. According to Magicpedia Corregan "ran a humorous personal-interest column headed as "Dear Uncle Koko Esq." It was years before members realized that the initials of the heading spelled out a clue to the unknown author "D-U-K-E". Corregan contributed his magical ideas to the Sphinx. His Four Ace Trick published in 1922 was a favorite of Ted Annemann. He also marketed "Be a Human Calendar" and "Unkle Koko's Kloryphyll Kard Trick". He authored a column "Spilling the Beans" in The Seven Circles in the 1930s."<br /> <br /> Some entertaining material is included here particularly the effusive letters of Corregan's colleagues trying to upsell their tricks or engage in small time bartering: "Perhaps you think I am trying to pull the wool over your eyes in our transaction regarding my item Cig-o-Jest." Over 75 unique some in duplicate including correspondence trick want lists two realphoto postcards and unused stationery. We have kept the material as found loosely inserted into a leatherette binder. An interesting window into the life of a small time touring magician and magic writer circa 1930. Generally very good with some normal wear and some mimeographed pages showing normal chipping. unknown books
