Virgil (Virgil Harris Mulkey). Touring Trunk with Bulk Printed Promotional Materials. 1950s—70s. Metal footlocker painted red with the name “Virgil” and the number “16” stenciled in black. Packed with bulk quantities of promotional material including programs, brochures, tickets and flyers for their long running show One Fantastic Night. Also includes smaller run of programs for their 1952 world tour and Magicana revue, as well as a substantial stack of brochures for magician John Daniels and Irene’s “Sensational Act of Baffling Illusions”. The re-branded stage show highlighted Virgil and Julie’s mentalism, hypnotism and séance routines while downplaying the magic portion of their performance, seen as outdated by sponsors. Third-party transportation required.
