    ABOUT AL FLOSSO
    Originally performing primarily in Vaudeville and at Coney Island, Al Flosso was noted among his peers for perfecting the "Miser's Dream" illusion of producing numerous coins out of thin air and dropping them with a loud clang into a bucket. Later, he appeared on a number of early TV shows, such as "The Ed Sullivan Show" where he was the first magician invited and appeared many times, and "The Steve Allen Show", among others. He also appeared in several films, including the 1931 Marx Brothers film "Monkey Business”.
    From 1939 - 1976 Flosso owned and operated
    Martinka & Co
    , in
    New York City
    , America's oldest magic company, once co-owned by
    Harry Houdini
    , also
    later known as the Flosso/Hornman Magic Co.
