The Escapist: Harry Hanuman (1874-1926)

Graduating from copying the Davenport’s transmutation routines, little Harry was renowned for his lock-picking and prison breaking ability. He is the last known owner of Ehrich Weiss’s regulation straight jacket, auctioned from Martinka and Co’s in 1939.

Aleister Blackwood (1945-1978)

The “Simian Salamander”. Cursed with a rare form of ichthyosis, Aleister never achieved center-stage with his astounding magick act. His unusual appearance relegated him to the sideshow bally until he became the renowned hypnotist, Dr. Satanos with Zacherley on WPIX’s Chiller Theatre.

Philomena St. Jude (1921-1974)

Romanian Princess gifted with the Second Sight. Abandoned tasseomancy after glimpsing the death of Harry Houdini on All Hallow’s Even 1926. In her later years she was rumored to be a regular guest of Criswell’s at the The Golden Cup.

Dalton Trifecta. (1934-1957)

Worked as a paste-board preacher in tent revivals from Savannah to Lajitas with a faith healing rabbit and the best five-finger pat down crew in the Southwest. While it is true they bear more than a passing resemblance to one another, it is not proven that Dalton and second cousin Dewey have never appeared in the same place together.

Adam and Alice Rambles (1939-1963)

Adam and Alice Rambles met at a tent revival outside of Dimebox, TX. After shearing the sheep on the Sunday School circuit, they settled down and sought honest work presenting themselves as “Cloud Pygmies” from Borneo with Ripley’s infamous Odditorium.
