Silent Mora Chinese Sticks
Before getting into one of the greatest Chinese Sticks (also called “wands”) crafted in my opinion, let me introduce you to the magician, Louis Jerome McCord, know by his performing name of Silent Mora. He gain fame under the “Silent” Mora name because he would perform magic in pantomime.
Born October 25, 1884 in Allegheny Pennsylvania, Mora would eventually become a well-known and popular Vaudeville performer with expert manipulative skills. Mora traveled the country, who managed to continue contributing original articles and tricks to the magazines of the day, and a frequent correspondent with his fellow magic stars.
Today, Mora is recognized by magic collectors who eagerly seek out his handmade props such as his custom-made and decorated bamboo Chinese wands, fans, and other effects.
I happen to be one of those collectors who seeks out and collects Silent Mora’s very famous Chinese Sticks. Before I have outlined the variations by year and month that I have been fortunate enough to acquire.
