Dante (Harry August Jansen). Nine Performance Photos of Dante the Magician. Circa 1935. Candid images of Dante performing various illusions in his Sim Sala Bim show, including the Disembodied Princess, All Out of a Hat, Broadcasting a Woman, Fountania (water fountain finale), and others. Each 6 x 8?. Some with scrapbook remnants to versos. Likely taken on Dante?s world tour and before his triumphant return to America during WWII, these images show actual in-performance staging of many of his most-famous illusions, as opposed to the posed images usually encountered.
