Do you know Zati Sungur ( 10.3.1898 - 6.7.1984 ).
The innovator of the modern art of magic in Turkey,
inventor of the "Thin model sawing a woman in half",
he became a famed master magician while touring in
South America in his youth. He toured in Turkey,
in Europe and in the Middle East Countries with his
full-evening illusion show, with great success. He was,
also, the owner of the "Universal Magic and Illusion
Tricks Studio" in Istanbul, teaching the art of magic
to a full generation of magicians in Turkey.

Thanks for posting this. Zati Sungur has been mentioned on the forum before, but his name was misspelled -- my fault.

Dear Bill Palmer,
I became very glad because you mentioned about from Zati Sungur. For that Turk illusion a truth hero and a leader. I write the "Thin model sawing a woman in half" situation at the detailed shape at your yak.

Dear Enis,
Indeed we had a thread sometime ago about Zati Sungur. Fortunately enough many people knew about him. Equally unluckily, there is no recent publication about him in English.
However if one may follw the link Bill has given, they may have some idea about him.
It was a good thought that you wanted to reming us about him.
Cheers.

Dear Enis,

Its great to have a post about Zati Sungur from you. I learned that it was in the Café before. He was a real star in Turkey. He affect so many magicians who were now some famous magicians in Turkey. I think you can write a detailed information about him. It will be great.

magicially yours,
