CLINTON BURGESS Harry Houdini JAMES WILLIAM ELLIOT'S Last Legacy Circa 1921 DETAILS: Original handbill by Magician Clinton Burgess. Circa 1921. This handbill was published by Burgess for his upcoming book "Elliot's Quality Magic". Burgess later collaborated with Harry Houdinin on this work and changed the name of the book to "Elliot's Legacy". It was finally published by both magicians under the title Elliott's Last Legacy: Secrets of the King of All Kard Kings. Burgess was bitter when the book was published because Houdini ended up taking most of the credit for the work. Houdini even put his name on the cover in large bold letters (and omitted Burgess'). This handbill is the only known example of Burgess' efforts prior to Houdini becoming involved. Measures 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" inches. We carry an extensive selection of original magician ephemera from the 1880's-1950's. Be certain to visit the Magician Ephemera Category of our ebay store.
