Updated 2021 MTA Broadway Subway Ad
Recently, I was going through photos of my trip to New York City last November, and came across this photo I had long forgotten about.

Spanish Language “Magic Show” Poster
The images below are from a Spanish language production of “The Magic Show” that appears to have been from 1975 (month/dates unknown.)

The above “Love, Peace, and Magic” poster comes from a 1975 issue of “Dynamite Magazine.” I really love the design and typeface of it all, as it really…
“Illusion and Reality” Poster feat. Jay Marshall

The tour itself was a mixture of Doug’s more famous illusions with a lecture on psychology and the mind. It’s interesting to note that the first poster famous lists illusionist/ventriloquist…
