Few magic posters name their rivals as openly as this one, which casts Howard Thurston as the successor to Harry Kellar, long the leading American stage magician. Thurston was already a rising headliner around 1908, and the title marks a handover between generations. The sheet came from the Strobridge Litho. Co. of Cincinnati, a firm known for color show posters, and its subject list adds demons, a familiar device for dramatizing conjured spirits on stage.
