Joseph Deodato came to America to perform in 1866. He performed in pantomime or was assisted by his son as a translator. [1]
Part of his act include sword swallowing (which he gave up for a time when he hurt himself after coughing while the sword was still in) and producing yards of colored paper and a brass rod from his mouth after eating burning paper.[2]
He played at the Carnegie Lyceum on March 26, 1912.[3]
There was a booklet published in 1921 by Houdini for a movie scenario called "Mistero di Osiris or the Mystery of the Jewel (Talisman); Mystery Tale of Old Egypt by "Giovanni Deadota". Some speculate that Deadota may have been Deodato.
