Known to friends as "Yetty", he was once billed as the "Unusual Wizard Monger".
In 1931, his store and workshop in London was completely burnt down, along with his act that he just developed for a tour the United States.
In the World's Fair, February 10, 1940, it was reported that the news of his demise was premature.[1] Later, the Linking Ring reported his death in the April 1949 issue, but there were no details.[2]
Yettma seems to be the creator of the illusion called "The Lady from the Light."[3][4][5][6][7]
In The Lost Notebooks of John Northern Hilliard there is a section devoted to his magic.
