Carter, Charles. Two Robes from the Carter Illusion Show. 1920s. Heavy velvet costume robes, one deep blue with a braided cord belt, the other dark red with a skull emblem sewn to the reverse, possibly used in Carter?s Cheating the Gallows illusion. These costumes in these three lots were displayed at Earthquake McGoon?s saloon in San Francisco, where much of the Carter show was housed and exhibited.
