Fabulous advertising brochure for magician Carter the Great, "the World's Wonderful Wizard." Many color illustrations of tricks he will perform. Opens to 7.25 x 20" Folded 7.25 x 10" Among the highlights of Carter's stage performances during his career were the classic "sawing a woman in half" illusion (an elaborate surgical-themed version with "nurses" in attendance), making a live elephant disappear and "cheating the gallows", where a shrouded Carter would vanish, just as he dropped at the end of a hangman's noose. He was also known for devising acts that were inspired by recent events that captured the public's imagination, such as the discovery of Tutankhamen's tomb in 1922 or John Dillinger's famous jailbreak in 1934.
