About Stamp

On August 7, 2018, in Las Vegas, NV, the U.S. Postal Service® issued The Art of Magic Souvenir Sheet (Forever® priced at the First-Class Mail® rate) in one design, in a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of three stamps. The souvenir sheet went on sale August 7, 2018. The Art of Magic Souvenir Sheet may not be split and the stamps may not be sold individually.

The Postal Service™ celebrates magic, an art form that holds a special place in American history. Each of the three identical stamps on this souvenir sheet features an effect that mimics a classic illusion. By rotating each stamp, customers can see a white rabbit popping out of a black top hat. A version of the stamp without the effect appears in The Art of Magic pane of 20 stamps. Art director Greg Breeding designed the stamp, while Jay Fletcher created the illustration and served as the typographer.
