KELLAR (July 11, 1849–March 10, 1922) was an American magician who presented large stage shows during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Kellar was a predecessor of Harry Houdini and a successor of Robert Heller and Isaiah Hughes, under whom he apprenticed. He was often referred to as the Dean of American Magicians and performed extensively on five continents. One of his most memorable stage illusions was the levitation of a girl advertised as the “Levitation of Princess Karnac”, copied from an illusion invented by John Nevil Maskelyne, which was later bought by Harry Blackstone, Sr.
Kellar retired in 1908, and allowed Howard Thurston to be his successor.
His last show took place on the largest stage at the time: the Hippodrome. After Kellar's performance, Kellar started to leave, but Houdini stopped him, saying that “America's greatest magician should be carried off in triumph after his final public performance.” The members of the Society of American Magicians helped Kellar into the seat of a sedan chair, and lifted it up. The 125-piece Hippodrome orchestra played “Auld Lang Syne” while Kellar was slowly taken away.
