Robinson
I2-A2
Artistic Presentation
Of
Magic
ROBINSON, GREATEST Living Sleight-of-hand Artist, has placed Magic among the Arts.
After thirty years of concentration and practice, Robinson presents a program of Maser Magic, that is truly one of the classics.
During all these years, Robinson has given his undivided attention to the perfecting of both the important and smaller details of his art, which has enabled him to present Magic as never before.
Many Magicians rise to the pinnacle and fall to the pit within a decade. That is the history of the commonplace. But each year Robinson has Celebrated the addition of a great host of new friends, until he is a leader, who has many followers that by no chance can hope to overtake him.
Every trick on Robinson's program is the result of years of long careful study.
When you have seen Robinson's Pantomine Magic you will realize what magic can mean to an audience, when artisticly presented, quality which is commonplace soon becomes dull and uninteresting. It is only the truly unusual which gains favor by prolonged association, you notice this in the rapid rise and wave of certain magicians acclaimed today, forgotten tomorrow. When other Magicians of his time are forgotten, Robinson will be what he is today, The Greatest Living Sleight-of-hand Artist.
Experience is by far the greatest teacher, nothing can take its place. Things worth while are invariably the result of years of labor and experiment by either individuals or organizations.
The modern skyscraper has reached its present stage through the years of experience of architects and builders. The compound locomotives of 1926 are far more powerful and effective than the railroad engine of some years ago.
Experience taught the builders how to improve them to cope successfully with today's demands.
In the magical art a far more striking illustration is shown in a comparison of the magicians of a few years ago with those of the present.
Experience again mainly responsible for the improvements.
In no field of endeavor does experience count to a greater extent than in the magical art. In this highly specialized art it is the knowledge gained through years of constant application and experiment which counts so largely in successful magic.
Because of the thirty years of specialized effort which have been devoted to magic.
Robinson has the invaluable experience which only the years can give.
