Horace Marshall, son of Vaudeville magician Marshall, the Mystic, began his own career in magic working the Chautauqua Circuit in 1923 with partner John Frye, using many of his own creations.[1]
His grandfather was also a magician.
In 1926, Marshall 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.[2]
Marshall was a prop builder known for his Feather Flower bouquets built for Harry Blackstone. Horace purchased the business of Rudolph S. Schlosser who built Blackstone's "Light Bulbs Thru a Girl" and Houdini's "Flight of Time".[3]
He was an avid collector of old and rare books on the magic and in 1940 the Akron Magic Club was designated, "The Horace Marshall Ring No. 161", of the I.B.M.
