Goldin, Horace. Pair of Horace Goldin Letters Regarding “Sawing in Half” Illusion Lawsuit. Apr. 30/May 7, 1933. Typed letters on “Royal Illusionist” letterhead, both signed “H. Goldin.” Both letters written in the midst of Goldin’s disputes against Harry Blackstone, in one case, for purportedly copying his Sawing in Half illusion, and against R.J. Reynolds for “exposing” the method to the same illusion in a cigarette advertisement. The earlier letter concerns a contingency for an attorney, Mr. Silverman, in the “Lester Lake and Blackston [sic] affair” and Camel. The second letter originally enclosed documents pertinent to the case.
