Budapest: Magic
Magician Charles Reynolds, who came up with two entirely different ways to make an elephant disappear, died last week. “He lived in a little house in Greenwich Village crammed with magic books, mummy cases and antique posters, including a dozen of the American magician who went under the Chinese name Chung Ling Soo and who became an instant legend in 1918 when he died by muffing the trick of catching a bullet in his teeth.” The New York Times wrote a nice obituary.
