Tom Jack

Tom Jack, born Karl Breu in what is now the Czech Republic, had appeared in about 1900 as an Albino Houdini imitator, who was by all accounts a very good performer. Beginning in the late-1920's and into the 1930's he played England, and Northern and Eastern Europe, where he billed himself and his children as Icelandic, and called themselves "Eismenschen" (Ice People).
