For thousands of persons the death of Hermann. the magician, will cause a stirring of many "reminiscences The mans place ill public regard was Is peculiar as his own very peculiar pro feSSion. He was perhaps the best known of the men who practiced the art of prestidigitation. He never claim ed that his magic" was anything other than q highly developed and intelligent trickery-the result of skill and dexter ity. Yet the people tloelled in immense numbers to be puzzled by this trickery and applauded the brilliant trickster T. Is rarely that one finds man with an employment SD peculiar winning such Il complete success. The great actor or the great singer finds his just reward in m admiration for his art The magician's work is not recogniz- able as art.
