Biography

Buatier De Kolta (pronounced BWAH-tee-ay Dee-kohl-tah) was born at home in France to Mariette Rambaud (27) and Claude Buatier (59). He would grow up to be a contemporary of fellow French magician Jean Eugène Robert-Houdin.

Many of De Kolta's illusions, such as Multiplying Billiard Balls, the Expanding Cube and the Vanishing Bird Cage, are performed by magicians today. Spring Flowers are also one of his creation.

De Kolta is probably most remembered for his De Kolta Chair (or Vanishing Lady illusion). A woman seated in a chair, covered by a large cloth would appear to vanish before an audience (large cloth included). Present-day magician David Copperfield has adapted this illusion in his own performances.

De Kolta is the subject of the book Buatier de Kolta: Genius of Illusion (1993) by Peter Warlock.

He died in New Orleans of acute Bright's disease.[1]
