context_page_description: Anton Zamloch, also known as “Professor Zamloch” and “Zamloch the Great, ” was an American magician who toured with his magic act from 1869 through 1912. Zamloch performed at mining camp “opera houses” in the wild west, New York theaters and locations in Mexico, Hawaii, Canada and across the United States. His act grew to a large size, and he traveled with three assistants and “over a ton of baggage.” Some newspaper accounts described him as “the greatest magician of the age.”
context_section_description: He made four tours of Hawaii in 1880, 1882, 1895, and 1904.  Zamloch recalled that superstitious Hawaiians would lower their voices whenever they spoke of “Kahuna” (black arts).  Zamloch said he was known in Hawaii as “Zamaloka Kahuna”.  He met King David Kalakaua at Iolani Palace in January 1880 and kept an autographed letter from the king and an autographed invitation card from Queen Kapiolani to attend an afternoon luau on the palace grounds.
