Harry Kellar - Master Showman

Abstract

It is very difficult to write about Harry Kellar because no biography of his life was written during his lifetime, although Harry Houdini, who admired Harry Kellar immensely, had taken many notes regarding Kellar’s life. Houdini planned to write a biography upon his retirement from the stage. There is little doubt that Harry Kellar was a world renowned magician and a great showman. For about two decades during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, he was considered to be the greatest conjuror in America.
