Cardini (Richard Valentine Pitchford). Cardini Portrait, Inscribed and Signed. Circa 1950. Iconic ? length image of the master manipulator, two cards balanced on the walking stick held in one gloved hand. 10 x 8?. Inscribed and signed by Cardini to magic dealer Mike Kanter, owner of the eponymous Philadelphia magic shop. Kanter?s catalogs were well-known for their covers, which prominently featured signed portraits of magicians that hung on the walls of his emporium. This is one of those photographs.
