MAGIC - CHUNG LING SOOPhotographic portrait postcard, signed in ink 'Chung Ling Soo', with Chinese characters adjacent, depicting the magician head and shoulders, his head shaved and wearing a queue, in an embroidered jacket, slight creasing, 8vo (140 x 70mm.), [c.1912]Footnotes:William Ellsworth Robinson (1861-1918) was an American magician famous for creating the persona of a Chinese magician, Chung Ling Soo, an act he performed both on and off the stage. Dressed in traditional Chinese attire, he shaved his head, wore his hair in a queue and created an elaborate 'back story' for himself. He never spoke onstage, apart from in broken English and communicated to journalists via an interpreter. He became highly popular and one of the highest-paid vaudeville performers, helped no doubt by the publicity resulting from his feud with a real Chinese magician, Ching Ling Foo, who claimed he had stolen his act. Soo was most famous for his 'Condemned to Death by the Boxers' trick and was fatally injured by a bullet during a performance of the act at Wood Green Empire in 1918. This image was used as the frontispiece for the programme for the Alhambra Theatre, Paris, in September 1912.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

19th century AD. A Daoist woodblock print on paper, 'T'u K'eh - The Protectors of the rural places (A collection of Divinities of many Types)', serving as a magical charm; mounted on card. 207 grams, 24.5 x 27cm (9 1/2 x 10 1/2"). Ex central London gallery; previously with the French Sinologist Manly P. Hall (1901-1990), Burbank, California, USA, c.1995; formerly with Paul Pelliot (1878-1926); accompanied by a detailed previously researched cataloguing sheet. Chinese magic charms have a long history, commencing in the second century with the earliest schools of Daoism, the Taiping dao and Wudoumi dao, which promoted their curative powers. Since then, different types of charms have proliferated (see Feng Zuozhe and Li Fuhua, Zhongguo minjian zongjiao shi, Taipei 1994, pp. 124-133"). Traditionally, the most efficient charms were either issued by or possessed the stamp of Zhang tianshi, the spiritual head of Daoism (the status tianshi, or godly teacher, is inherited through generations by the descendants of Zhang Ling, who founded the Wudoumi dao school"). This centralisation provided a unified official format for priests to use in their charms, which was often combined with local folklore and Buddhism to produce a great many variations. A typical charm consists of a drawing and some calligraphy in a running style, and contains names of deities, zodiacal symbols and other ‘made-up’ characters. Animal or human figures may be represented. [No Reserve] Fine condition.

4th-8th century AD. A conical ceramic bowl, the inner face with concentric rings of inked Aramaic magical text. 294 grams, 15.5cm (6"). From an important collection, by descent; seen by Professor Lambert in the 1980-1990s Aramaic incantation bowls are particular to the Sassanian period and have been found in regions of modern Iraq. These simple ceramic bowls, also known as magic bowls, each contain an Aramaic inscription, written in ink, which spirals from the centre. The bowls seem to have played an important part in domestic life. For example, during excavation in Nippur in 1889, one or more incantation bowls were found in each house together with domestic artefacts, most often in doorways or under floorboards in the corner of rooms. The bowls are predominantly apotropaic, and the inscriptions tend to protect their owners from misfortunes such as those faced in child-birth, illness and evil spirits. Fine condition.

Mid 19th century AD. A vellum scroll of three seamed panels with hand-coloured images of guardian angels and other protective iconography. 57 grams, 172cm (67 3/4"). Ex central London gallery; acquired from a UK collector in 1995; accompanied by a brief previously researched cataloguing sheet. ‘Magic scrolls’, held to possess protective and healing powers, were to be carried by the owner at all times. Each one was designed for the individual patron. [No Reserve] Fine condition.
