Life
Joseffy came to the United States of America at the age of 19 where he worked at a Chicago Magic Store, building props and illusions. He invented a self-contained, no-thread version of The Rising Cards that astounded magicians of his day.[2] One of his mechanical creations was "Balsamo, the Living Skull".[3]
Joseffy was a performer at Coney Island as the Chautauqua & Lyceum headliner, and also played violin.[4] He eventually stopped performing and became an electrical engineer.[5]
