HART, J. Michael. The English Necromancer. Transparent Magic. [London]: J. Founshe [illegible], 1859. Letterpress double bill on thin paper for “Professor” J. Michael Hart, presenting his conjuring feats at the Standard Theatre, Shoreditch, “in the midst of the audience” and “without the aid of confederates,” and including apparatus made from glass. The bill also advertises Christy’s Minstrels. Bottom edge ragged, marginal soiling and chips.Curiously, the bill claims Hart will “explain some of the illusions to his auditors.”
