Erie Hall of Fame: Harry Kellar

Harry Keller was an explosive kid -- and he was a kid who played with explosives. His sport was playing chicken with passing trains. At 12 he stowed away on one of those trains and left Erie to become the world's most famous magician. In an era before television, radio and movies Keller's acts were so explosive that he became the most celebrated personality on the planet. Still with all his explosive fame, he never forgot Erie and would return often to perform.
