SELBIT, P. T. (1881-1938). Typed Note Signed to fellow magician, Dante. Signed ?P. T. Selbit.? Reading, August 11, 1936. On Selbit?s personal stationery (?Sawing Thro? a Woman?). 10 x 8?. Some toning, old folds. Selbit wishes Dante success in his tour of England. Very good. Although several magicians have claimed to have invented the modern illusion of ?Sawing a Woman in Half,? most magicians acknowledge Selbit as its true inventor.
