Alexander Herrmann (1844-1896) was born in Paris and was “kidnapped” by his eldest brother, the famous magician Compars Herrmann, who took him on tour to Russia where at age 8 Alexander debuted for the Czar Alexander II. Herrmann rarely performed the dangerous bullet catch feat due to Adelaide’s “deep-rooted aversion to the trick”. But, on those rare occaissions, his technical assistant was always Billy Robinson. Herrmann’s poster can be seen in The Chicago Magic Lounge's library bookcase.

“The palace intrigue behind Chicago’s 1893 World’s Columbian Exhibition is alive and well in this tidy 60-minute act from magician Sean Masterson. The narrative revolves around a cryptic coin dating back to the World's Fair, acquired by Masterson when he was a boy.” The Chicago Reader
