Horace Marshall (June 12, 1902 - February 24,1976) was born Horace Marshall III in Cleveland, Ohio. His parents were a Vaudeville team, featured on the Keith-Proctor circuit, under the name of "Mystic Marshall and Company". He was repeatedly endorsed by leading critics and magicians as "King of deceptive digital dexterity."
He began his own career in magic working the Chautauqua Circuit in 1923 with partner John Frye, using many of his own creations. In 1926, Horace decided to devote full-time to the creation, manufacture and sales of magical apparatus and started H. Marshall and Company, making all items by hand.
Horace was a prop builder known for his Feather Flower bouquets built for Harry Blackstone, Blackstone's "Light Bulbs Thru a Girl" and Houdini's "Flight of Time".
In 1940, the Akron Magic Club was designated, "The Horace Marshall Ring No. 161", of the I.B.M.
