Thurston, Howard. Thurston the Great Magician. Eggs Extraordinary. Cincinnati: Strobridge Litho, ca. 1910. Color lithographed poster depicts Thurston’s performance of this comedy feat in which a seemingly endless quantity of eggs was extracted from an opera hat, then handed to a youngster from the audience. 19 1/2 x 30". Minor over-coloring in borders and lettering; A-. Scarce. Thurston purchased the rights to perform the egg trick from the great British stage magician David Devant, who featured it in his own show and had his own – very different – poster produced to advertise the effect.
