The Great Chang & Fak-Hong

The Man Behind the Mystique

This poster was originally printed in Valencia, Spain. In spite of the sound of his appellation, Chang was actually the stage name of Juan Pablo Jesorum (1889–1972), a native of Panama who learned magic as an assistant and interpreter for The Great Raymond.

Jesorum began his solo career in 1913 as "The Great Pablo," then later as "Li-Ho Chang," and still later simply as "Chang."

Though he toured all over the world with his magic show, it was in South America where he found his greatest success. He was best known for his presentation of "Shooting A Bullet Through A Woman" — an illusion also performed by Carter the Great.
