In 1925 there was a Dante 3 Sheet
(3, 1 sheet sized posters) that was used for Dante's magic show.
The poster says "Dante, The Famous Magician - Beauty The Arabian
Steed, Vanishes In Mid Air - $50,000 Illusion". (Image shown to
the right).
You will notice that on the bottom
of the poster is says "The Wonder Show Of The Universe".
That is the same slogan that Howard
Thurston used.
Howard Thurston originally had
these posters made for himself, but then had Dante use them, since
Dante was under Thurston's management.
All they did was
print a new top piece to the poster that said "Dante".
Howard Thurston then had the poster
shown above produced for the same illusion.
