Kellar the Great Retires!
The great Kellar gave his farewell performance and named Thurston as his successor, this week in 1908.
A quote from Teller
"When a magician lets you notice something on your own, his lie becomes impenetrable."

A Martinka visit with Jackie Flosso
Video from the Martinka Archives of a visit with Jackie Flosso at the Martinka shop, circa early 1980s.
The one and only, Al Flosso
Al Flosso took over the reins of Martinka in 1939 and ran it until 1976. Here is a great interview he did along with Bob McAllister in the early 1970s.
Martinka in American Road
The current issue of American Road Magazine featured a nice article about Martinka. We liked the way they ended the story:
"Francis Martinka never imagined the last trick would be played on him. During the 1910s - mere years before his death - he frequently opined in the daily papers that the era of the magician had passed. 'I can look forward to the time... when magic will become one of the forgotten arts,' he lamented in 1913, never expecting that - more than one hundred years later - his little shop of hocus-pocus would have accomplished the greatest trick of all. Now you see it - and now you still see it."
