============================================= Some History from the Net on J. Buautier that has been translated from French so is not fully grammatically correct but is very interesting; alos there is a portait far below: Joseph Buatier was born in Lyon on November 18, 1847. His/her father, a fabric merchant, wanted to make a priest of him. Joseph left the seminary at 18 years to study art with the painter Elie Laurents. Joseph was much more at ease with charts to be played that with brushes. He was mystifying some friends in a coffee of Lyon, when he made the knowledge of Julius Vido de Kolta, a Hungarian business manager.
De Kolta successful to convince Buatier that he could make fortune as a magician. Buatier launched out in the adventure with De Kolta managing. Consequently, he took as his stage name Buatier de Kolta. His first spectacle took place in Génève. Buatier of Kolta and his business manager continued to Italy, Spain, Germany, Russia, the Netherlands, France, England, and the United States.
In France, his show was at the Robert-Houdin Theatre, then repurchased by Méliès In England, in Egyptian Hall of Maskelyne.
He is the brilliant inventor of many magic lucky finds still used today.
One can quote, in particular, the "volitilized cage" - invented at the time of his voyage to the Netherlands - where a bird living and its cage disappear in a flash, and at sight which made happy generations of magicians after him.
He is also the inventor of the "decreasing charts" and the "multiplication of the billiard balls" and the flowers with spring. It has not been been proven that he was the inventor of the FP [??], it is he who largely popularized it.
It is also him who was the first to use silk scarves (the trade of his father)
Buatier of Kolta died of Yellow Fever (acute nephritis), October 7, 1903 in New-Orleans (the United States). With his death, the rumour began that all his magic material had been destroyed. In fact, his wife brought back all her accessories to England. The magnifying die was sold to a collector with the name of Goldston, who resold it later to Houdini.
However, today, many of his secrets remain unknown. ============================================
