Vintage Personal Magic Envelope of Magician Duke Montague


Vintage Personal Magic Envelope of Magician Duke Montague. Known as "The Wizard of Ah's".

This item was purchased through the estate auction of Leola Wain, who performed with her husband Jack (the Mysterious La Wain)...

Jack Wain, performing as the Mysterious La Wain spent his life in Vaudeville, performing as a Magician and Ventriloquist. Jack and his wife Leola traveled throughout United States and Canada with the likes of Nicola and Howard Thurston. I believe during the 1940's and 1950's he performed in more local settings. After retiring, Jack set up a magic shop in his home.

Not sure of the age, but believe it dates from the 1940's to 1950's. It measures 3 3/4" x 6 1/2" inches. In Excellent Condition. Has not been used. The opening has "self-sealed" itself over time.

This is an original period item, and NOT a reproduction or reprint.
