BALABREGA (Johan Moller, 1857 – 1900). Balabrega ALS to Henry Hatton. Dated August 20, 1886, the Swedish magician writes to his compatriot from Boston regarding fascinating professional matters including the methods behind at least one effect: “If Seeman's Suspension is patented … I would like to know the details of it … Oh yes, the watches under the chair. Nothing simpler. I take any wooden chair, chisel out a hole under the seat, or rather out of the under part of the seat… How to stack a pack of cards before the eyes of tolerably smart people is another matter …" Sold together with an illustrated clipping for Balabrega from the New York Clipper. The letter SIGNED “Yours, Balabrega." A RARE autograph of this accomplished magician who met a tragic end when a gas light exploded while he stood on stage in Pernambuco, Brazil.
