His name was Henry Link, he called himself "professor Lynk" and he came from the Batley area. I have read the local papers for his mysterious death by drowning and it says he was well known throughout the heavy woolen district and throughout Yorkshire for his act.

Evie s - thanks very much for all your time and that information. The newspapers of the time of his death have him down as an insurance agent as well as a magician so he had two jobs going at the same time.
