Burling Hull (1889-1982) (alias "Volta the Great") was an inventive magician, self-styled "the Edison of magic," specializing in mentalist and psychic effects. He claimed to be the inventor of the Svengali deck of cards. He was also a shrewd businessman and marketer, and gave talks to magic conventions on business success.
