Chung Ling Soo
Chung Ling Soo, born William Ellsworth Robinson, died on the stage of London’s Wood Green Empire when his bullet catch routine went wrong.
To increase his allure with a touch of exoticism, Robinson changed his name to Chung Ling Soo. He maintained his role as a Chinese man scrupulously. He never spoke onstage and always used an interpreter when he spoke to journalists. Only his friends and other stage magicians knew the truth.
Watch a small documentary about who killed Chung Ling Soo.
