About this user

Thurston, Howard
(1869-1936)
Born in Columbus, Ohio, the first magician Thurston saw was Alexander Herrmann, the "King of Magic." Thurston resolved to match the style of his idol, but he briefly studied for the ministry before finally becoming a full-time magician. He first toured the United States with a small act. Then a European vaudeville tour started him on the road to magical fame. Thurston's financial success in Europe let him build an illusion show which he took around the world. He visited Australia, India, and the Orient, polishing his skills and developing a stage presence that served him well. Thurston returned to the United States to succeed the then-reigning magician, Harry Kellar.
