Hi all.
My favorite poster is named "Nothing On Earth Can Hold Houdini A Prisoner", too. In addition, I like the one entitled "Houdini presents his own original invention the greatest sansational mystery ever attempted in this or any other age". You seem to be quite interested with the art of magic made by Houdini, James! You're right, Houdini was so talented. http://www.allposters.com/gallery.asp?st......earchID= Emeline |

That he was. The fact that people today (who know nothing about magic) can name Houdini says something! He made an impact...
You're right Emeline, I was interested in Houdini at a young age and it's never stopped. I proudly hang my poster of him (mentioned above, see link) and have had it for a long time. There are many magic posters that are beautiful to look at but for me Houdini's are those most intriguing. Here are a few more I adore: http://www.art.com/asp/sp-asp/_/PD--1364......0173B11F http://www.art.com/asp/sp-asp/_/PD--1327......0173B11F http://www.art.com/asp/sp-asp/_/PD--1362......0173B11F http://www.art.com/asp/sp-asp/_/PD--1326......0173B11F Enjoy!!

Hi James.
Thanks for the links; the posters are obviously amazing and impressive. I like to collect old things such as Magic posters! The colors are unique, in addition, the text styles of the slogans are so elegant. By the way, have a look at the web site allposters.com because there is a range of vintage posters. Emeline |

I have to admit Magicbob116, the Downs poster is also one of my favorites.
If I was to get another one that would be it! Thanks for sharing those links! James |

I like the Downs one that bob mentioned. A similar one I liked was "Houdini, King of Kards and Koins!"
I also really like the Comedians de Mephisto with the little cartoon strip stories and Talma tricking the cab driver. That one is probably my favorite. I have been so entranced by Talma ever since I saw that printed in Randi's magic history book that it helps fuel my never ending love of coin magic.

I have a few of the ones mentioned here and I love them all.
No one has mentioned david blaine's posters which have been created much in the same vein as these classic ones. His artist Mark Stutzman http://www.eloqui.com is excellent in making the posters look classic and does a phenomenal job. |
