Berg was born in Pinsk, Russian Empire (now Belarus) and immigrated to the United States with his parents in 1914.[2] He supplied magic effects and props to such noteworthy entertainers as Harry Houdini, Harry Blackstone Sr.[1] and Howard Thurston[3] among others, and self-published books on magic.
