ABOUT ALEXANDER HERRMANN
Alexander Herrmann
(1844-1896) was a French magician, better known as "The Great Herrmann" and "Herrman the Great" and was part of the
Herrmann
family name which has been called "first-family
of magic".
Herrmann was born in Paris to Samuel and Anna Sarah Herrmann, a physician who occasionally performed throughout Europe as a conjuror. Alexander's brother
Compars Herrmann
left medical school at
an early age to pursue a career as a magician and served as a role model and inspiration for Alexander.
He joined his brother's stage show at the age of eight and the brothers toured the world together. Eventually they would go their separate ways, Compars returning to Europe and Alexander to America
where he became a naturalized citizen in July 1876 in Boston. Throughout the 1870s and 1880s, Alexander and his wife
Adelaide Herrmann
performed together in elaborate stage shows. The pair adapted
Robert Houdin
's
Aerial Suspension
routine and performed their own version of the
bullet catch
.
After his death, his nephew
Leon Herrmann
moved to the U.S. to continue the act with his Aunt Adelaide.
Herrmann was one of the few magicians that actually produced a rabbit from a hat.
