The creative team that brought you the Magic Land of Allakazam was also working on many other "spin-off" projects.  This proposal involved a Wizard, puppets, a young hero, and a magical castle.  This "Wizard Battle" museum-quality canvas print (22"W x18"W) is one of the most energetic, high action scenes that (former Disney artist) Glenn Schmitz created as a beautiful Water-Color rendering. Glenn honed his skills during his work at Disney, as you can see in the style of this piece.  Notice the full magic illusion occupying the left side of the frame.  Those of you that know the method will enjoy the way they represented the secret to operating the little Princess Puppet.  This item does not include shipping.  Because of the delicate nature of this item, we will coordinate the shipping directly with you by email after purchase.

Glenn honed his skills during his work at Disney, as you can see in the style of this piece.  Notice that the lighting on the front of the Castle comes from a torch being carried across the draw-bridge.  You can only see the tip of the flame about halfway across the bridge, but, the illumination from it bounces off the front door and the inside of the entry arch to the right of the Castle.  A  clever way to dramatize the beginning of our heros entrance into the Wizards lair!  This item does not include shipping.  Because of the delicate nature of this item, we will coordinate the shipping directly with you by email after purchase.

This beautiful large caricature of Basil the Baffling Bunny is very special.  It was originally created on a piece of paper using Chalk by The Magic Land of Allakazams (former Disney artist) Glenn  Schmitz.  Glenns favorite medium was chalk on paper. An interesting side-note is that, apparently, his fingers were cracked from the excessive use of chalk for his renderings.  This particular piece was made as a set piece for Episode #37 of The Magic Land of Allakazam.  It hung in Rebos Balloon Shop alongside the equally large and spectacular partner piece of Rebo.  (See collection listing).  This item does not include shipping.  Because of the delicate nature of this item, we will coordinate the shipping directly with you by email after purchase.

Either as a stand-alone piece or side by side with the Rebo Caricature, since the original design was for the set, this particular sketch of Basil is a great way to bring a little Magic from Allakazam into your home!  Not surprisingly, it is a favorite of the Wilson Family.  Nani even allowed Greg to hang the original in his bedroom at the Wilson residence for many years.  And now you can have your own Allakazam Archives Canvas Gallery Wrap that may last much longer than the original!

Towards the end of the Magic Land of Allakazam, Mark Wilson sold an amazing "Film to Life" interactive live stage show that incorporated all the cutting edge magic that the Allakazam Creative team could come up with.  Sadly, they discovered that the show that was sold to the General Cigar Co. for the Hall of Magic was beyond what the technology of the time could achieve!  What a horrible position to be in, especially a couple of months out from the opening of the 64/65 New York Worlds Fair!  This item does not include shipping.  Because of the delicate nature of this item, we will coordinate the shipping directly with you by email after purchase.

Mark, armed with a new show  proposal, and some new concept art, went to the headquarters of General Cigar, in New York, to explain the situation and "sell" them on the new "Magic Show" production.  This spectacular piece of Concept Art, seen here as the Gallery Canvas, Large 32"wide by 22" tall version, was a leading piece in that presentation!  History tells us that not only did Mark save the production companys reputation, but, he and his team created one of the top 10 live attractions, ranking #7 in audience reviews for both years of the Worlds Fair.  Thats a great achievement when competing with giants like Disney.

Product Full Description

      This is a large, 30"x40" Poster. Its  condition is NEAR MINT - NEW/OLD STOCK.  It's been stored rolled since printed in 1963, with only sleight wearing on the edges that were on the end of the protective tube.  This is a recent warehouse find.  This poster comes from magician Mark Wilson's personal collection.  Mark produced the live show that was performed in the Hall of Magic and picked up this poster from the General Cigar offices in 1963.   Many famous magicians were influenced by this show.
      The poster is rare, because they were printed for the NY Metropolitan Transit Authority as subway and bus stop posters.  Once used, the NY-MTA posters were destroyed.  This poster was never sold at the Fair.  That's why Mark Wilson has the only known surviving originals.  This is an Extremely Rare Poster.  It has been authenticated by the Curator of the Queens Museum at the Flushing Meadows grounds of the original NYWF.
