SIM SALA BIM - Lithographic poster of Dante the Great, 1970s

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. "Sim Sala Bim" was Dante's trademark that he used as magic words. He was often referred to as the "King of Magicians." Dante made his last public appearance a week before his death at the combined convention of the Society of American Magicians and the Pacific Coast Association of Magicians in Santa Barbara, where he gave a lecture on his tours. He died at his ranch in Northridge, San Fernando Valley (near Los Angeles), of a heart attack on June 16, 1955.
