If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

Having discovered a way to produce a huge bowl of water, he discovered he couldn't walk normally when set up. As a result, he walked incorrectly whenever he was onstage or in the public. Also they mention that Robinson (Soo) abandonded his wife (and child) and had a mistress while in London who he CLAIMED was his wife, what they don't mention is that he was cheating on HER as well! (William Robinson is definately a case of "don't meet your heroes!")

I am confused. Is it the article or you that has got HIS name wrong? It seems to me, it is you that is confusing one with the other.

The article gets Foo's name wrong, claiming he's CHUNG Ling Foo, when in fact he's CHING Ling Foo.

I see so CHING Ling Foo was Chee Ling Qua.

I'm talking about his stage name. They say "Chung," it should be "Ching."

There is perhaps something ironic about the West stealing intellectual property from the East.
