The Adventures of the Strange Man

Description
-
Dr Hugh Simmons Lynn toured many countries and this book, with a frontispiece by George Cruickshank Jr, records his adventures. Lynn was possibly the first to perform the Japanese Butterfly Trick in the West in 1864, and from 1873 he performed a wide-ranging magic show at the Egyptian Hall. Lynn’s patter included the phrase ‘that’s how it’s done’ and it became a popular catch phrase, no doubt helped by this book.
