Years of practice, experience and
travel have had telling effect upon
Magician Keene's entertaining powers
and today he stands at the head of the
list Of magicians In this country, both as
mystlfier and entertainer. He presents
many new sleight-of-hand tricks In
addition to the most clever of his old
ones. All his illusions are entirely new,
original and intensely mystifying, while
his tests in telepathy are really startling
and utterly unfathomabe.
