The Great Nesbitt Mysteries

Despite owning a profitable chain of cinemas, Neil Sinclair Nesbitt (1886-1936) took up the stage name The Great Nesbitt and began working on stage in 1919. He developed his own touring production company that eventually created wondrous acts such as the one displayed in this poster.

Nesbitt is displayed in the poster recreating Chung Ling Soo’s Daemon Smoke trick.
