Featured article

Grover George

Grover George (1887 -1958) toured South and Central America during the time when Howard Thurston was the dominate magician in the United States. He returned to the United States where he performed in second rate venues until he eventually returned to South America.

Biography

Born in Zanesville Ohio, he got interested in magic at an early age. He performed his first magic show for a school in his hometown and eventually put himself through college by performing magic. In the 1920's George decided to step up his game by upgrading his show and taking it to the larger first class theaters. He purchased the equipment and rights to William "Doc" Nixon's act called 'Hong Kong Mysteries' and then formed the Mysteries Production Company. A young Paul Rosini was taken on as an assistant around 1923. He struggled with an American Tour because Howard Thurston, fearing competition, told theaters that if they booked George, they would not ever have Thurston on their stage again.
