 The Birmingham Age Herald says:
 "Howard Thurston's performances was reveIation. As q magician he Is a past master of his art. The enter tainment he provides is not only eiab- crate to a surprising degree, but 1t is refined. interesting and at times highly dfverting. His tricks range from sleight-of- hand to the most compli- cated and puzzling cabinet manipula- tion. Nothing, apparently. Is too difi- cult for him to attempt. and he keeps an audidnce wondering all the time The principal acts are mystifying to say the least of them. while a great many pretty and clever conceptions are worked out during the progres of the performance. Thurston is never idle. His ingenuity seems to be inexhausti- ble. So many and varied are his tricks that one loses count of them and is hurried on recklesiy to a finale which Is the most startling of all "Thurston's efforts.
