After first being an assistant to Bellachini, he made extensive tours of Europe, America, and the Orient.
His act called "An Hour in Dreamland", introduced a number of his creations. Among his innovations was the cremation illusion in which his assistant vanished in flames as she stood within an asbestos curtain. Another was "Noah's Ark" in which a model of the Ark, first shown empty, produced various animals, climaxing in the production of Noah's wife.[2]
Thorn died in Leipzig, Germany.
