Joseffy

Josef P. Freud (also known as Joseffy) (3 March 1873 – 26 May 1946) was a Viennese magician.

Joseffy came to the United States of America at the age of 19 where he worked at a Chicago Magic Store, building props and illusions. He invented a self-contained, no-thread version of The Rising Cards that astounded magicians of his day. One of his mechanical creations was "Balsamo, the Living Skull".

Joseffy was a performer at Coney Island as the Chautauqua & Lyceum headliner, and also played violin. He eventually stopped performing and became an electrical engineer.
