Canasta, Chan. Chan Canasta Palace Broadside. Blackpool: Ayre & Senior, 1953. Four-color broadside for Canasta at the Blackpool Palace, sharing the bill with six other acts, and billed as “The most discussed artiste of the year (it’s an understatement).” 24 ¼ x 12 ½”. One small loss, chipping and wear around edges. B+. Unmounted.Despite his tremendous public profile, thanks in no small part to his television appearances, memorabilia from the career of Canasta – regarded today as one of the most accomplished mind readers of his generation – is genuinely uncommon.
