We are excited to announce the availability of 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
Chung Ling Soo’s
own more elaborate personal stationery, circa 1900s.
Each sheet is bordered with gold and features a design which starts with
"Chung Ling Soo’s"
name featured prominently along
with the tagline
"Marvelous Chinese Conjurer". There is a small cameo picture of him at the top center and the whole sheet is
flanked by 2
blue fire breathing dragons.
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 heavy chipboard. Each sheet is printed on heavy 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.
