Horace Goldin

Horace Goldin (1873 – 1939) was a stage magician who was noted for his lightning fast presentation style and who achieved international fame with his versions of the Sawing a woman in half illusion.

Goldin did tricks quickly one after another without speaking and became known as “The Whirlwind Illusionist”. With this act he found success in vaudeville and began touring the United States. In 1901 he went to London to perform at the Palace Theatre. His British shows made sufficient impact for him to be invited to do a private show for King Edward VII and royal guests at Sandringham in November 1902

Watch Horace Goldin perform some revolutionary magic for the times.
