Allyne, the Wizard, the Great Enchantromundi. Boston, [ca. 1864 - 70]. One-color letterpress broadside playbill for gift show performances to take place at Williams Hall. The magician and ventriloquist exhibited ?a hundred pleasing illusions? such as ?the calligraphy of the dead,? and an escape titled ?the celebrated rope tying feat.? Ricky Jay?s notes state that Allyne [Tom Allen] was actually a con artist. 24 x 9?. Old mounting residue to verso, creases, chipping and tears to perimeter, loss to lower edge affecting text.
