Cardini (Richard Valentine Pitchford). Cardini. A Deft Manipulator. [Kenton: The Scioto Sign Co., ca. 1928]. Offset window card bearing a portrait of the “Suave Deceiver” who was perhaps the most finished manipulative magician of the twentieth century. 14 x 22". Pinholes and minor scuffs; B. Cardini posters of any sort are uncommon; pictorial posters advertising his shows are harder to locate. This window card was created to advertise Cardini’s appearance at an early convention of the International Brotherhood of Magicians, and was printed by the organization’s president, W.W. Durbin, who owned the sign company that produced the card.
