[London]: The Permanent Advertising Co. Ltd. 275 Strand, W.C. 1891 Source/Shelfmark: Evan.331 Magic tricks; Magicians; Optical illusions. The first production of the illusion 'Oh' under the title of 'The Mahatmas Outdone' took place on 29th September 1891. It was the joint invention of Nevil Maskelyne and Charles Morritt. A man was seated in a slender cabinet which had curtained sides, and although he seemed securely held by the hand and his legs strapped, he vanished. He eventually re-appeared in the auditorium.
