Charles Bertram (1853 - 1907) was a British magician who performed for royalty and appeared several times at the Egyptian Hall. He was a favorite performer of King Edward VII.[1]

During the latter part of his career, he toured with Albert Chevalier in Great Britain and the United States.[2]

His famous phrase was "Isn't it wonderful?" and his assistant was professionally known as Madame Patrice (whom later married C. Lang Neil).

Bertram was noted for his presentations of Cards to Pocket as well as De Kolta's Vanishing Birdcage and Vanishing Lady illusions.
