Ludwig Leopold Doebler (Döbler or Dobler) (1801 - 1864) gave up an apprenticeship in engraving to become a conjurer.
By 1825, Doebler performed for Prince Metternich and Emperor Francis I of Austria. His opening effect was lighting a hundred candles with a single pistol shot. Another signature effect was the "Flora's Flower Bouquet Production", in which he produced numerous flowers from an empty hat.[1]
Doebler became so popular in Vienna that gloves, hats, and neckties were named after him, as well as the street, Doblergasse.
He toured England (1842-1844), Austria, Germany, Russia and France. Dobler retired from the stage in 1848 wanting his fans to remember him at his prime. He bought a large farm, with a handsome mansion in Austria. [2]
One of his students was Harry Marvello and a relative of J. N. Hofzinser. Doebler sparked the interest in magic of his fellow countryman Johann Nepomuk Hofzinser.
