		+
		+	In the year 1843 there was situated in the Rue du Temple, Paris, a little
		+	shop, over the door of which was displayed the unpretentious sign, " ]\I.
		+	Robert-Houdin, Pendules de Precision." It was the shop of a watchmaker
		+	and constructor of mechanical toys. The proprietor was destined to be the
		+	greatest and most original fantaisiste of his time, perhaps of all times, the
		+	founder of a new and unique school of conjuring, and the inventor of some
		+	marvelous illusions. No one who stopped at the unpretentious place could
		+	have prophesied that the keen-eyed little Frenchman, in his long blouse be-
		+	smeared with oil and iron filings, would become the premier prestidigitateur
		+	of France, the inventor of the electrical bell, improver of the electrical clock,
		+	author, and ambassador to the Arabs of Algeria. During his spare moments
		+	Houdin constructed the ingenious automata that subsequently figured in his
		+	famous Soirees Fantastiqiies. When Re went abroad on business or for pleas-
		+	ure he wore the large paletot of the period and practiced juggling with cards
		+	and coins in the capacious pockets.
		+	From A Hopkins' 1896 book on Magic
