Larson, Charles. Inner Circle of Magicians Membership Card and Pin. [New York], 1930s. Including a printed card bearing the promises of members of the club, and a gold and enamel pin back/charm in the form of a skull and crossbones, presented to members. The card with a blue Aviator back. Scarce. So extensive was the magic collection of Charles Larson that he considered himself an expert on the methods behind most magic tricks. As such, he created the ?Inner Circle of Magicians? and granted membership only to those who could fool him completely. Foolers were presented with a membership card and skull and crossbones charm, as offered here.
