Rameses (1876 - July 31, 1930) born Albert Marchinski (or Marchinsky), performed as the Egyptian Wonder Worker.
He did a United States tour in 1910 and was the first magician appeared at the London Palladium music hall in 1911. He was at one time a highly paid music hall artist. Maurice Fogel, in his teens, was once an assistant.
His shows consisted of large illusions on a brilliantly set stage. Some of his famous ones were the Ayesha levitation where an assistant floated gracefully while dancing and skipping; the the cremation illusion; and the automaton "Vril".
His shows eventually disappeared from the stage and little is known of his subsequent career.
