Born in Pagny sur Moselle in France as Richard Eichhorn, Eperny was introduced to magic through a magic set. Already appearing on stage at 17 year old, he performed in February 1914 at the Apollo-Variete in Berlin with his own magic stage show. Later he took over the stage name Chiang Fu from a colleague. Eperny built an entire magic show around the persona and the Chinese costumes he received. Since 1930 he worked in Germany partly as Chiang Fu and partly with a modern show which featured his signature tie and jacket color changes. After WWII he moved to Austria and received the Austrian citizenship in 1948. Charly Eperny was also a magic scholar who collected methods and routines and authored a number of books which are still well known today. Among them are Enzyklopädie der Mikro-Magie, Das grosse Stuller-Bosco Buch, Das Rohnstein-Buch, Das Dr. Stanley Jaks Buch and several more. Seller Inventory # 036574
