Great Lafayette

The Great Lafayette (1871-1911) was the highest paid magician of his time.

Biography

Born Sigmund Neuberger (Newburger) in Germany, his family moved to the United States early in his life. Neuberger began his career as an imitator of Ching Ling Foo, but went on to become the highest paid magician of his time. In 1900 he appeared in London changing his name from Sigmund to the Great Lafayette. His act included a quick-change routine as well as dramatic illusions such as his own Lion's Bride (lady to lion). The pampered object of The Great Lafayette's affection was Beauty, a perky terrier given to him as a pup by fellow conjurer Harry Houdini. Beauty had her own suite of brocaded rooms, ate five course meals, and wore a diamond studded collar.
