"The Chicago Magicians Roundtable is an informal organization of magicians and lovers of magic which has been meeting daily since September 1929. It began when 5 Chicago magicians; and Russ Walsh, gathered at a round table at De Lazon's restuarant at 2:00 PM. Soon the word got around that this was the place magicians could meet with their fellows any day of the week, except Sundays. The Roundtable became, and continues to be, a world headquarters for magicians. With the exception of a brief move to another location, the Roundtable has always set at the same place, which is now known as Mayor's Row. The 108 individuals in this drawing are only a few of the many hundreds who over the years have enjoyed the fellowship of the Roundtable."

An exceptional piece for any lover-of-magic commemorating the Chicago Magicians Roundtable with the previously-mentioned 108 names printed and labeled with their respective head.
