#RamoSamee performed into the 1840’s before dying in 1850. He was recognised as the first professional #juggler & #magician of the modern era & although now almost entirely forgotten, he was the most #famous magician of the early #C19th

Capt. Peter Campbell leased a room in Pall Mall and the Troupe displayed 4x a day with great success. Later that same year with #RamoSamee at the head the troupe toured #England, #Scotland & #Ireland causing a great sensation.

#RamoSamee came to #England ~1812 as head of a troupe of #Indian Jugglers & Magicians recruited by Capt. Peter Campbell of the #EastIndiaCompany. It was the 1st time such performers had been seen in #London & their skills were superior to any previously displayed.
