In the late 1800 and through World War II, The Great Raymond was a household name. Maurice Saunders, who started learning magic tricks at the age of 9 while growing up in Akron, traveled the globe more than half a dozen times, doing everything from hypnotism to escape acts for sell-out crowds. The timing of new telegraph and transportation innovations made him the first magician to ever able to circle the planet while bringing along four tons of equipment, acrobats, musicians and vaudeville performers.
