HISTORICAL NOTE:
CARTER, CHARLES (1874 - 1936) American-born illusionist, he started his career as a magic journalist and prominent lawyer. Because of stiff competition in America, he chose to concentrate his magic career abroad, where he achieved great fame. In fact, his one great failure came when he tried to open a theater in the U.S. during the Depression. Carter is noted for his exceptional publicity material, especially his fine lithographed which are very collectible today. His magnificent home in San Francisco is presently used as a foreign embassy headquarters.
