“CHUNG LING SOO SILHOUETTE LETTERHEAD NOTEPAD”
-

- WRITE LIKE A MAGICIAN - 


5” X 7” 50 SHEET QUALITY NOTEPADS


We are excited to announce the availability of yet another of our latest originals. Introducing “FLASH PAPER”.  Now this is not the traditional flash paper you are thinking of. Our 'Flash Paper' are notepads featuring exact replicas of the letterhead & stationery, often called ‘Flash Paper’, of some of the world’s most famous magicians.

From the turn of the century through the 1920’s and 1930’s, master magicians used their elaborate, original, and fanciful stationery & personal letterhead to not only write letters and various communications but to promote themselves, relay reviews of their shows and, of course, brag and boast of their accomplishments and status.

Each original piece of letterhead is as unique as the magician it was created for and features many of the characteristics associated with that magician. These are not only produced graphically true to form for each unique piece of marvelous stationery but also true to the original colors of each sheet.

LISTED HERE are notepads that are exact replicas of one of the famous Chung Ling Soo’s own later personal stationery, circa 1910s.

Each sheet is features raw Chung Ling Soo’s red cameo silhouette within a black oval. The design which starts with “The Original Chung Ling Soo” prominently along with the tagline "Marvelous Chinese Conjurer". The top features a permanent mailing address but also a space for Chung Ling Soo to add the address of his next venue. The bottom (nearly half) is left blank for the note or memorandum.

The background of the paper even remains true to the original paper color and visual texture.

This is an original, you will only get it here. 

This listing is for a single pad measuring 5" x 7” containing 50 sheets and backed by chipboard. Each sheet is printed on a great mid-weight paper.

Perfect for the magic professional or amateur. A great gift for the enthusiast and hobbyist alike - or for your desk!

Price is per pad.

ABOUT CHUNG LING SOO


Chung Ling Soo (April 2, 1861 - March 24, 1918), born William Ellsworth Robinson, died on the stage of London's Wood Green Empire when his bullet catch routine went wrong.

During his early career, William Ellsworth Robinson called himself Robinson, the Man of Mystery. To increase his allure with a touch of exoticism, he changed his name to Chung Ling Soo and took his show to Europe. He took the name as a variation of a real Chinese stage magician - Ching Ling Foo - and performed many of the tricks that Foo had made famous.

Chung Ling Soo 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.
