In 1911 he left magic and went into movie industry where he lost his fortune. He went back to magic, where he became successful again.
Ansbach may have been the first person to make a success as a traveling teacher of magic.
He lived at least into his eighties as evidence to a mention of him in the September 1933 Linking Ring (page 501) and his sponsorship of magicians into the IBM in the October, 1938 Linking Ring (page 471).
