Pop Haydn is not originally from the 21st Century himself, but has been trapped here with a bunch of other maroons from another, very different time and place.
Pop is a magician, comedian, musician and medicine pitchman. He is a past Vice-President of the Magic Castle in Hollywood, California, and has been named performing "Magician of the Year" six times, winning in the categories--Stage, Close-Up, Parlor, and Bar.
He is the co-founder with Chef Anton of School for Scoundrels.
I have some items like the posters and a few pictures. My proudest item is a letter from the chief of detectives to Houdini telling him how much his staff enjoyed the class on fraudulent mediums and wanted him to do another class.
I have a watch that has his picture dressed in his tux, sleeves rolled up and his arms and hands chained. People comment on that when they see it.
Thanks for sharing. Some of these I had not seen before. Only wish it had captions to tell some of the people he was with.
