Hofzinser, Johan Nepomuk. J.N. Hofzinser Conjuring Broadside. St. P?lten: F. Lorenz, 1867. Letterpress advertisement for a performance by the famous Austrian magician at a theatre in St. P?lten, a Western suburb of Vienna. Eleven-part program enumerated near bottom. 15 5/8 x 10 7/8?. Cellotape to verso, stained, tiny losses at old folds; fragile but intact. Rare. The effects listed on this broadside include several of Hofzinser?s most famous, including the Rose Mirror, his book test (?The Word?) and, first on the program, card tricks, which Hofzinser termed the ?poetry? of magic. The rough translation of the header on this advertisement is "an hour of deception."
