| Composante Notes |
During the early part of the 20th century, it was common for magicians to employ Oriental themes and styles to add exoticism and mystery to their shows. Carter the Great was well-known for his expensive and elaborate Oriental-themed costumes, many of which he collected from exotic locations during his round-the-world tours in the early 20th century. |
