Born
John McBride, in Goshen, New York. In 1973, he made his national television debut
as a guest on the quiz show What’s My Line? In 1975, he was booked on a tour
of Japan as the opening act for a salsa band. It was in Japan that he was exposed
to kabuki, a Japanese theater form, which had such a great influence on his own
magic style.
Jeff McBride is currently based in Las Vegas, Nevada. He established the "McBride Magic and Mystery School" to teach the art of stage magic. Working under his stage name, Magnus, Jeff was a performer for several years in Caesar's Palace's Magical Empire. His stage performances currently blend elements of kabuki, with traditional conjuring.
Jeff has won several awards, including recognition by the Academy of Magical Arts, the Society of American Magicians, and the International Grand Prix of Magic as "Magician of the Year."
This 40x25cm poster has been signed in gold pen.

Richard
Ross won top honors at the European FISM (Fédération International
des Sociétés Magiques) congress three times.
The name is synonomous with "Linking Rings". Ross was the undisputed master of the ancient classic, even bringing it back from disfavor into many a magician's working repertroire.
The Linking Rings routine, in Ross' expert hands, was a thing of beauty in which the rings seemed to plainly and visibly melt through each other with no more effort than just holding them.
It was this classic -- given new life by Ross -- that served as his singular reputation-maker and was a cornerstone of his manipulation act, which also featured a beautifully rendered Miser's Dream and a gorgeous Multiplying Clocks.
A beautiful photo of Richard, very magical, a hero of mine who is sadly no longer with us, and if I didn't already have it this one would be on my wall!

In
1984, the author, award-winning German performer Roland Schopp, aka ChaPeau, awoke
the art of Chapeaugraphy. Ever since, it has been an integral part of his repertoire
as both magician and quick-change artist. Now for the first time he shares with
the reader his knowledge and the experience of 25 years performing the art professionally.
The art of Chapeaugraphy means visual comedy. From a simple felt ring the performer folds various hats in order to impersonate different people and characters. Within seconds, a stoic Napoleon Bonaparte becomes a crying baby; after that a Chinese Mandarin; and then a Spanish Torero, to name a few. The audience is truly amazed and amused by the fast and visible transformations.
This is a very interesting poster, the 3 pictures have been put together to not only catch the magic but also the humour of Cha Peau.

Salvano
the magician was born in Poland.
With his exceptional intellectuality and creativity in magic, he was known as one of the smoothest classical acts.
Salvano lived and breathed magic.
Salvano's act was always very popular at UK magic conventions and was loved by many magicians.
Silent and very traditional, it was jam-packed with great magic moves, productions and vanishes.
His lecture was always excellent, featuring clever original magic that often caught magicians out; a fact which I'm sure secretly delighted him.
He will be really missed.
A beautiful and magical picture of this late master of magic.

Bob's specialty is cards.
His repertoire is culled from the legacies of such as Walter Cummings, Paul Rosini, Ken Allen, and Max Londono, but he exemplifies how to customize the creations of others to suit your own styles.
Whether cutting a card in midair with a pair of shears or slahing through a newspaper page from a distance of 15 feet or more, Wild Man Bob evokes audible gasps of admiration.
There is no other magician-no other human being-in the world like Bob Little. And, because underneath his quirky, sexy 'Wild Man' persona there is an experienced pro who really knows what he is doing at all times and who knows the real work of captivating an audience.
He is the incomparable Bob Little of Hatboro, Pennsylvania.

William
W. (Bill) Larsen and his brother, Milt Larsen, were both in television but had
grown up in a family of magicians. Their father was a performing magician and
respected Los Angeles defense attorney, William W. Larsen, Sr., and their mother,
Geraldine, the early TV pioneer children's entertainer known as The Magic Lady,
published Genii, the Conjurors Magazine, which is still in publication.
In 1962, Bill and his brother Milt completed their father's dream of The Academy of Magical Arts and The Magic Castle.

Irene Larsen (born September 25, 1936) was born in Steuhlingen, Germany near Siegfried Fischbacher (although never met him until years later).
Irene's career in magic started by chance when, in 1965, she attended a magic show in Germany and was asked on stage by magician John Daniel. One year later she arrived in America, married Daniel and became involved with Owen Magic, a manufacturer of magic products.
She is the Honorary President for Life for the Academy of Magical Arts and is affectionately known as "Princess Irene," a stage name she was given by her first husband, magician John Daniel. She toured the school circuit with Daniel and after that, with Daniel and Bob Towner.
She performed with him on "The Dean Martin Show" with Orson Welles.
In later years Irene and Bill become co-editors of Genii magazine.
