Svengali Trio was a Vaudeville act in the early 1900s that performed Second Sight.[1]

In their act, Hugo Lorenzo would moved about the theater receiving whispered requests from the audience for specific musical selections or the names of celebrities. Without Hugo saying a word, the pianist, Elsie Terry, would break into the suggested melodies or the make-up artist, George Stuckenberg, would transform himself into a resemblance of the famous person named.

They toured the world until around 1920.[2]

Also billed as "The Lawrence Svengali Trio", "The Lorenz Svengali Trio", "Svengali and Trilby", and "Svengali and Miss Terry".
