Long Tack Sam, born in 1885 in Northern China, was a world renowned magician, acrobat, and vaudeville performer. His magnificently dressed troupe played major cities across the globe in the early 1900's. Although largely forgotten as a performer today, he is considered on of the "greatest vaudeville acts of the early 20th century". His career brought him to the opening act for the [Marx Brothers] and even became a mentor to [Orson Welles]. Wikipedia
