Arthur H. Buckley
Arthur Herbert Buckley, born December 15, 1890, in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, was an accomplished sleight-of-hand artist and manipulator. After emigrating to the United States in 1918, he performed in vaudeville before later presenting a two-person mental act with his wife, Helena. In addition to his work in magic, Buckley was also an electronics engineer based in Chicago. He is credited with developing the Split Fan Production with cards and the Muscle Pass with coins. Buckley died in Chicago on February 20, 1953, at the age of 62.
