The Mysterious Ching Ling Foo
Magic is as old 0
as
recorded historywith evidence of magicians 1
nearly 5000 years ago in ancient Egypt, and then ancient Greece and Rome. Until about 1750 most magic shows were watched in streets and marketplaces across Europe. But 2 these started to close,
magicians started working 3
public houses or rented rooms. Finally, rich people became 4 in magic and
magic shows were 5 in theatres.
Born in 1854 in Beijing, China, Ching Ling Foo studied traditional Chinese magic. His show went to the United States in 1898 where he was very successful. His most famous
6 was producing a huge bowl
full of water from under a piece of cloth and then pulling a child out from the bowl of water. While he was in America, he offered a reward to anyone who 7
produce a child from a bowl of water as he did. Ching didn’t expect anyone to
8 the challenge, but
an American called William Elsworth Robinson did.
He came from New York and had started
9 magic when he was fourteen
years old. Ching was furious when Robinson accepted the challenge and he refused to
10 in the contest. Robinson
changed his name to Chung Ling Soo and called himself ‘The Original Chinese Conjuror’. He even refused to speak English, pretending that he was really Chinese. He became even
11 famous than the man he
copied, but he died on 12 doing
one of his tricks. He tried to catch a bullet from a gun but unfortunately, he failed. He died from a bullet in the chest in 1918, four years before Ching Ling Foo died.
