The King of Cards Boots

Before the handcuffs, the water tanks, the séances and the locked cabinets, Harry Houdini was the King of Cards.

Drawn from an original vintage performance poster, The King of Cards immortalizes Houdini at his most elegant and elusive. The great magician appears in crisp repetition across the side panels—flanked by flying cards, scarlet ropework, and a knowing gaze because he’s already guessed your hand. His portrait is rendered in the dignified palette of antique playbills: cream, burgundy, parchment gold, and black, all aging with grace, not dust.
