Robert-Houdin the Magician

 

_Robert-Houdin

Jean Eugene Robert Houdin (1805-1871), the founder of modern magic, was an inventor of many complicated toys and automata. His first profitable gadget was an alarm clock; a bell would peal to awake the sleeper and a lighted candle would come out of the box,

It was for his application of electricity to clocks in general that Houdin was decorated in Paris.
