The Amazing Kreskin (George Kresge, 1935 - 2024) was an internationally famous mentalist - a man who could read thoughts. Over the course of a career spanning eight decades, he amassed an incredible collection of arcane objects, and a vast library of books on conjuring, hypnotism, and the unusual. On August 16, Potter & Potter will bring his collection to auction, featuring unusual pieces of magic apparatus and mind-reading memorabilia, relics from his hundreds of television appearances, and more. Complementing Kreskin's collection will be a diverse offering of rare magic posters, tricks, books, and ephemera from the "golden age" of the art. 

Our summer sale is set to feature a broad range of coin-operated machines and vintage advertising featuring a range of porcelain signs, vending machines, Coca-Cola and soda pop advertising, slot machines and trade stimulators, ice cream and soda fountain collectibles, gambling collectibles, liquor and beer advertising, and more.

This auction - the first of its kind - celebrates the art, ritual objects, and ephemera of American fraternal organizations from the collection of Bruce and Julie Webb. These secretive societies - including the Oddfellows, Freemasons, Knight of Pythias, Shriners, and Elks - generated attractive, bizarre, and fantastical objects of all kinds. Paintings, costumes, arms & armor, prank-like (and mischievous) initiation devices, prints, lithographs, wood carvings, and "folk art" with a macabre bent are all hallmarks of their output. Examples in each category will be featured in the auction. With Lynne Adele, Bruce Lee Webb authored As Above, So Below: Art of the American Fraternal Society, 1850-1930, with a foreword by noted collector David Byrne of the Talking Heads.
