About the Item

This poster was used to advertise Dante's magic show at the NixonTheatre Pittsburgh. Dante (1883-1955) was born in Denmark to Harry August Jansen. He emigrated to the United States as a child. He began working in the field of magic as an illusion builder, later building for the famous magician Howard Thurston. Dante has toured the world with his show "Sim-Sala-Bim," including on Broadway.
