The only Chung Ling Soo : marvellous Chinese conjuror |
| Abstract/Description |
Chung Ling Soo's real name was William Ellsworth Robinson, born to Scottish parents in New York in 1861. After years of working as an assistant to well known illusionists, he took on the persona of a Chinese magician and became renowned for the beauty and mystery of his work. As Chung Ling Soo he started working in London in 1900 and opened in Melbourne in February, 1909. He was famous for tricks such as the coffee trick, the umbrella and mat, the sun and moon comedy, the birth of the pearl, fire eating and the trick that killed him on stage in 1918, catching a bullet in his teeth. |
