Scope and Contents

This subseries primarily consists of programs from local and national magicians’ conventions. There are a small number of invitations to smaller magic conferences, as well as some typescript and handwritten materials produced by Percival and others on conference planning committees. A folder of tickets and name tags, included here, consists primarily of said items from conventions, alongside a few tickets from other performances. Finally, a folder of photographs shows groups of people at magic conventions and meetings, many of which are well-labeled with magicians’ names.
