The Real Chung Ling Soo - Live On Stage
A Written Assignment by Adrian Tayeh
March 20ᵗʰ was my lucky day! I got a ticket to Chung Ling Soo’s show, right here in London! So I dressed up and went to the show. The only reason that I wanted a ticket was because I wanted to see his famous trick.“Catching the bullet”.
The show began with a number of outstanding tricks. The whole audience was silent.He performed them as easily as if it was like walking for him.
Two hours in to the show an announcer said that we were through the show and that we could take a quick break to buy something to eat. I only bought a pretzel because I was not feeling very hungry.
After the intermission Chung Ling Soo started to do more dangerous tricks. I sat there watching the amazing show. Later when the show was nearly over I thought that he wouldn’t do how famous trick. Fortunatly his assistant asked someone to mark a bullet. I wanted to do it so I raised my hand. And he picked me! So I marked the bullet and gave it to Chung Ling Soo. The assistant took the gun and shot. And there on the floor was Chung Ling Soo with a dark dot on his chest.
He was killed by the shot. I ran to him, just like the others in the audience. And all started to scream. When the screams were over I could hear someone that said that he was a doctor. We let him through to check on Chung Ling Soo. And the doctor confirmed it. He was dead. I couldn’t handle the facts so I went straight home.
The following day I read the newspaper. There was a picture of him and an article that said that he was dead. And another article called: “The sectrets of Chung Ling Soo”. I read the article. It said that he was just an American man that copied an Chinese magician. And there was someone who sent a letter to the newpaper. They published the letter. It said that he was murdered and I dont believe that it was a mistake. I fully believe that it was a murder.
