8 sheet magic poster, Stone Litho, Charles Carter the Great
was an American stage magician who performed as "Carter the Great". The image shows a vintage poster for his "Spirit Cabinet" illusion.
Charles Joseph Carter was known for his elaborate illusions, including a surgical-themed "sawing a woman in half" and making a live elephant disappear. He was also skilled at using vibrant and intricately designed posters, like this one, to promote his shows. The "Spirit Cabinet" illusion involved placing a member of the audience in a cabinet to answer the question, "Do the Dead Materialize?". The original posters for his shows were printed by the Otis Litho Co. and are highly sought after by collectors of magic memorabilia. |
