Houdini Decal Reproduction
(Available on a 1/2-sheet size!)

We are very excited about this find! A while back, Norm purchased a "mysterious" Houdini decal from Dr. John Booth. This decal was given to Dr. Booth by Bess Houdini on October of 1941.

Originally, this decal was intended to be used as advertisement in glass windows. Decals are very difficult to see due to their nature. They are printed on a special transfer paper and covered with a protective sheet that one is only able to remove when the decal is wet. For this reason, no one had ever seen this image.

A few days after we purchased it, Norm lacquered a board and applied the decal to it. The result was astonishing. We were stunned by the beauty of the image! It is just gorgeous! We also found that the image is based on a Houdini photograph that we also have in our collection! (See the composite image on the right)
The original decal measures approximately 8" x 10" and it now part of the Nielsen Collection. This is a very rare piece. Apart from this one, we only know of two others. For that reason, Norm has decided to reproduce this image.

We are now reproducing this decal image into a 1/2-sheet poster!

• Every single detail has been captured, and we are printing the poster on canvas.
• The entire image measures 20" x 25".
• The quality, as with all Nielsen Poster Reproductions, is exceptional.

Thurston Throw-Out Card

These are the ORIGINAL cards that Thurston gave to his audiences!

During his show, Thurston demonstrated card manipulations. As part of the act, he would throw these cards to the audience. His skill was such, that he was able to throw them to the last row of the balcony!

He had different printings and several versions of Throw-Out Cards. The one we offer is pictured above, with Thurston's portrait on one side and his daughter Jane on the other.

Card Dimensions: 2-11/16" x 3-11/16"
Date: Circa mid-1920's
