News / Chicagoland Adam Langer on Jay Marshall

This weekend an auction will be held for the collection of the late comedian, magician, and magic-shop owner Jay Marshall. Adam Langer, author of Crossing California and a Reader contributor, has a preview, which includes some of Marhsall's historical posters.
I'm also pleased to say we're bringing Langer's 1987 interview of Jay Marshall out from the archives.
