Scarne
Tony Curtis as Houdini
Schulien's Bar
Johnny Carson
There is, no doubt, more to be found.

Re: Magicians in Life
You can also search for images from Life Magazine on google, by typing the name of what you want and adding "source:life" to the search string. For example if you search for "John Scarne source:life" you'll get this picture of Scarne testifying before congress.
I'm not sure why this search doesn't bring up other Life Magazine articles, like the one Bill posted. But it's another resource.

Re: Magicians in Life
Too, cool. I love the pic on page 105 of the Schulien's Bar link. I've never seen a pic of Ballantine doing real magic as opposed to his gag act.
