- A fine old poster for a fascinating fellow. In the era of orientalism, it was common to make oneself up as an Asian mystic for your magic act. Long Tack Sam (A somewhat loose Anglicisation of Lung Te Shan) was from China. Article on him could be better, but it's not appalling or anything. Un-fun fact: If this passes, this'll only be the fourth person of Asian descent in the whole category. Might have to do a bit of an Asian History Month celebration next month.
