LISTED HERE, in the grand tradition of the elaborate, original, fanciful stationery favored by magicians, these notepads are exact replicas of Coney Island’s own Al Flosso. These are notepads featuring note sheets that are exact reproductions of Al Floss's letterhead.
Originally performing primarily in Vaudeville and at Coney Island, Al Flosso was noted among his peers for perfecting the "Miser's Dream" illusion of producing numerous coins out of thin air and dropping them with a loud clang into a bucket. Later, he appeared on a number of early TV shows, such as "The Ed Sullivan Show" where he was the first magician invited and appeared many times, and "The Steve Allen Show", among others. He also appeared in several films, including the 1931 Marx Brothers film "Monkey Business”.
From 1939 - 1976 Flosso owned and operated Martinka & Co, in New York City, America's oldest magic company, once co-owned by Harry Houdini, also later known as the Flosso/Hornman Magic Co.
