1927 Jean-Eugène Robert-Houdin Article: Dramatic Magic Trick Handkerchief Conjuring. 

At the time, it was considered by some to be the most Dramatic Trick in the History of Magic.
This article is about a trick that Jean-Eugène Robert-Houdin performed in 1846 with King Louis Philippe of France. It describes how the trick occurred, and it surmises how Houdin performed it!

Houdin is widely recognized as the father of the modern style of conjuring. He transformed magic from a pastime for the lower classes, seen at fairs, to an entertainment for the wealthy, which he offered in a theatre opened in Paris, a legacy preserved by the tradition of modern magicians performing in tails.

A great piece of Magic history! Would make a great gift for anyone interested in Houdin or Magic generally.
