I love graphic design, and I love magic, so naturally I’d love old magic posters. A gentlemen that I know in the local business community had an interest in magic and especially Houdini, and he gave me some of his collection. There was a copy of a Houdini painting, along with a whole bunch of copies of old magic posters. The pages came from a book originally, but all of the below pages were just torn out of it. I have no idea what the original book was unfortunately. Does anyone know?

Some of them are really fantastic though. I’m going to see about framing a few of them and hanging them up in my office. If you go to my facebook album, you can see all of the posters.

Naturally I recognize some of the names, but there’s a bunch that I’ve never heard of before.
