I'm thrilled to learn you are the one who owns this beautiful poster. Interesting details. Could this have been his first poster after King of Cards and The Houdinis? It is that same curious size. I'll shoot you an email.

I'm wondering if this is the same one that's in the Randi book, which was credited at the time as having come from the Houdini Magical Hall of Fame in Canada.
