Adelaide Herrmann was
wife of Alexander Herrmann,
and an accomplished magician. Working for
many years as the chief assistant to her husband, she continued with
the show as "The Queen of Magic" after his death in 1896.
At first in partnership with her husband's nephew,
Leon Herrmann, she eventually had her own successful act with an Oriental theme (designed for
her by Chung Ling Soo). She was one of the few women who ever performed
the potentially deadly Bullet Catch.
She retired in 1928.
