    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.

    raw Chung Ling Soo’s red cameo silhouette within a black oval.

    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.
