Phil Hunter (1881 - 1908), from Ohio, was an accomplished magician who traveled throughout the United States on the lyceum circuit as "The Buckeye Wizard" and "Phil the Wizard".
At a young age Hunter displayed considerable talents and by the age of 20 he was entertaining huge crowds. His brother, Dard Hunter, joined him as a chalk talker and would entertain the crowd during breaks. The act proved to be wildly successful and the two are reported to have made up to $2,000 a month in 1903.
In the third grade, Hunter wrote in a school essay that he would be a successful magician, wear spectacles and die at a young age. Sadly, he was correct and Phil succumbed to complications from Tuberculosis and died at the young age of 27.
