Magician and Illusionist Autograph and Clip Collection 1930-1965

Fantastic, large collection of autograph photos and unsigned photos and clips from magazines, all related to magicians and illusionists, with some mentalists and other entertainers.

Mostly Austrian artists, but also a good amount of other nationalities, most likely the original ownership of magician "Valentino", named Otto Fackler (1892-1966), who was member of the Magic Club of Vienna, since there are quite a few autograph photos inscribed to him. 

Almost 200 items, in various sizes, all in very good condition, mostly photos and clips, a few playbills/fliers. Some signed, larger format photographs are included.

Unsigned photos include some of International Magician Congresses that took place in Vienna 1930s through 1960s, most photographs have markings on verso (probably by original owner) indicating information about the photos.

A large variety of signed photographs of magicians, some of the magician autographs are from: Freddy Fah (1916-1988), Valentino Graziadei (1898-1961), Alois Kassner (1887-1970), Phoa Yan Tiong (1926-2006), Gogia Pasha (1910-1976), Anton Stursa (1902-1965), Karl Edler (1877-1945), Peter Pit (1933-1999), Toni Anverdi (1925-1995), Kalanag (born Helmut Schreiber, 1903-1963), Werner Kroll (1918-1990), Tonny van Dommelen, Erich Brenn, Tam Jersey, Retta, Louperti, Rold Hansen, Hans Borose, Richard Suey, Gally, Trilby, Musty and many others.
