Biography

He was the creator of the "Loewy Palm" which was published in Greater Magic as "THE TOP CARD WITH LEFT HAND ONLY".

He was a member of the National Conjurors Association and the IBM ( member No. 921.) Prof. Loewy attended the IBM convention in 1927.

The "professor" title was probably self-bestowed and he advertised himself as an "expert in card performances and theatrical entertainments".

Loewy also collected stamps and post cards.[1]
