Pollock, Channing. Chinese Paper Cut of a Magician with doves. Ed Keener, ca. 1990 [?]. Caricaturish representation of a magician cut from black paper and standing next to a birdcage, modeled after Channing Pollock’s closing effect in which a cage full of birds vanished in thin air. The initials “CP” incorporated into the design. Framed to an overall size of 18 x 22”. Keener was a nightclub magician who worked many of the same venues Channing Pollock did, though their acts were significantly different. He found success and regular work in Europe, but eventually returned to America, living in Las Vegas and Arizona.
