The
Glorious Deception - The Double Life of William Robinson, aka
Chung Ling Soo, the "Marvelous Chinese Conjurer"
by
Jim Steinmeyer
This
book is about the fascinating biography of Chung Ling Soo.
A magician from late 19th and early 20th centuries who died
on stage during a performance of the Bullet Catch trick. After
his death many of the mysteries about this man began to unravel.
He was not Chinese, but an American by the name of William
Robinson. He was the husband of Olive Robinson (Suee Seen).
But, he also kept a second family with a mistress in a fashionable
home near London. This is probably the most complete biography
of this amazing illusionist. It is entertaining, and above
all, informative. We highly recommend it.
