Biography
He came to California in his twenties. Surviving the San Francisco quake and fire In 1906
His friends were those of Charles T. Jordan, Robert Madison, Earl DeForrest, Henry D'Rubio, and Arthur Buckley. Many of his tricks were advertised in the magic journals of that day including his "Supreme Thimble Act" (which later appeared in a Journal a few years later verbatim, credited to another.)
His prime interest in magic was cards and at the P.C.A.M. Oakland Convention in 1934 he demonstrated an entire routine of color changes.[1]
