Please post your character sheets here once completed.

I have decided to allow the use of any type of sheet you prefer, as long as all the important information can easily be found on them.

If you want to use the US sheet and write in all the extra information on them, that will work. The free "fill-in" sheets from Chaosium are fine too.

Thanks!

Background:

Howard Thurston was born July 20, 1899, in Columbus, Ohio. His childhood was unhappy, and he ran away to join the circus, where his future partner Harry Kellar also performed. Thurston was deeply impressed after he attended magician Alexander Herrmann's magic show and was determined to equal his work.

Thurston was the middle son of William and Margaret Thurston. His father William Henry Thurston was a wheelwright and carriage maker. His mother Margaret (Cloude), was the daughter of an Ohio farmer. He attended Mount Hermon School for Boys in Northfield, Massachusetts. Among his fellow students were Lee de Forest, "The Father of American Radio," and musical humorist Charles Ross Taggart, "The Old Country Fiddler."

At this mid-point in his career, Thurston has achieved considerable success with his traveling magic shows (requiring four train cars to transport.) He has a friendly competition with other magicians of the day such as Houdini. Thurston was particularly famous for his sleight of hand, card tricks, and large stage illusions such as “The Levitation of Princess Karnac.” Magic historian Jim Steinmeyer would later write that, "In Thurston's hands, the Levitation of Princess Karnac became a masterpiece. The beautiful trick was perfectly suited to Thurston's lyrical baritone."

The charismatic Thurston would later be quoted as a subject matter expert in Dale Carnegie's book How to Win Friends and Influence People.

For many years, Thurston’s belief in magic was firmly in the stage magic category. He was aware of legends and lore of “true” magic, and has heard strange stories, but he is a level-headed man. Despite a profession which plays up “the spirit world” and “magic,” ironically Thurston was reluctant to believe that real magic spells and creatures of folklore exist(ed.)
