Glen Pope, once known as the "Thimble King", abandoned magic after the collapse of Vaudeville to drive a taxi in France.
Pope learned magic by assisting Fasola, Thurston and Charlton. In 1926 he became a nightclub and stage magician touring the world in the 1930s and 1940s.
Pope did the Vanishing Birdcage (as his opener) and the Smoking Clay Pipes. His act was described in Holden's Programmes of Famous Magicians.
