Professor Louis Hoffmann (July 23, 1839 - December 23, 1919) was born Angelo John Lewis in England. He was a lawyer, professor and the leading writer on magic, games, amusements and puzzles of his time.
He wrote a series of articles on magic for a boy's magazine that was later expanded into his book Modern Magic. The pen name, Professor Hoffman, was used because he feared that his professional prospects as a lawyer would be injured if it became known that he possessed such an intimate knowledge of the arts of deception.
He was also the author of a novel for kids entitled, Conjurer Dick.
