    This is an original 1920 Alexander "The Man Who Knows" stone lithograph from my private collection of Magic posters. This is a 1-sheet sized poster and is the more common of the Alexander posters left in existence, but still a strong and powerful image.

    Alexander was perhaps the most successful professional theatrical mind reader of his generation. He made millions of dollars performing on the grandest vaudeville stages - nearly $240,000. in 1924 alone and retired at age 47.

    Alexander Conlin admitted to killing four men, was married seven times, occasionally to more than one woman at a time, spent time in jails and prisons around the U.S. and counted some of the greatest magicians of his time as his close friends.

      Thanks valentino97 and tom61375, sounds like you had a cool graphic artist job and would have loved to see those large Magic posters, I wish you had some photos of them. They were most likely 3-sheet and 8-sheet sized posters.....VERY large in size standing at about 9 feet tall. I have a few of those in my collection and a few here on CW as well (Dante 3-sheet and Carter 8-sheet litho) Thanks again for the love and comments, they are very much appreciated.
