He worked in sales and advertising, and created small magic booklets as promotional items like the Popsicle Magic Coin Book distributed by Popsicle Service Inc. in 1933.

In 1936, working for Shell Oil, Chapman starred in one of the four touring Shell Oil Magic Shows headed by Jack Keyes, and that same year started self-publishing a series of booklets called Six Bits. He also wrote a column called "Chap's Corner" in Genii from 1937 to 1944, and published a hand-typed, self-illustrated magazine called Chap's Scrapbook from July 1938 to June 1940, which featured material by the likes of Charlie Miller and Nate Leipzig.
