Clement De Lion excelled
in both card and billiard ball manipulation as well as
ventriloquism, with a successful career spanning some 25 years (from
1897 until 1922).
He is credited
with being the first professional magician to make a name performing
an ungimmicked version of the Multiplying
Billiard Balls. His act, promoted as
"Two Hands and Twelve Billiard Balls- That's All!",
involved his walking out on state empty handed, producing twelve
billiard balls from thin air, and then making them vanish, leaving
the stage again empty handed.
He was married
to the magician/ventriloquist Anonyma.
