Gus Hartz (also known as Professor Hartz) and his brother J. M. Hartz opened a magic store in 1870 on Broadway and were patronized by all magicians of the day including Alexander Herrmann, Robert Heller and Harry Kellar.[1]
They saw Robert-Houdin perform and then came to America around 1961. They started what they called a magical emporium on Broadway.[2]
