Timeless Magic is a highly visual magic show that appeals to a multi-generational audience. The show features sleight-of-hand, audience participation, and highly deceptive but rarely seen 19th century magic effects. @acorntheater #mastersonmagic → https://t.co/KhmpDFEdF6

@TatianaHazel Great WBEZ interview — what time do you go on tonight?

On Wednesday I came across a rare photo of Adelaide Herrmann, America's premier magician at the beginning of the 20th century. I was doing research in the Houdini Collection at the fabulous Ransom Center in beautiful Austin, Texas. #ransomcenter #mastersonmagic

[Sean Masterson @mastersonmagic]

Alexander Herrmann (1844-1896) was born in Paris and was “kidnapped” by his eldest brother, the famous magician Compars Herrmann, who took him on tour to Russia where at age 8 Alexander debuted for the Czar Alexander II.
