The Great London Mystery is a 1920 British silent crime film directed by Charles Raymond and starring David Devant, Robert Clifton and Charles Raymond.[1] It was a 12-chapter serial showcasing the acting abilities of one of the most famous magicians of his time, David Devant (1868-1941), allowing him to present his routine on film. After years of doing sleight of hand stage shows, Devant later turned to acting and film distribution[2]. The film was co-written by Charles Raymond and Hope Loring. It is considered a lost film today. PlotAn illusionist called The Master Magician tries to obstruct the evil plans of an Asian villain named Ching Ling Fu who has supernatural powers. Also in the film, an Englishman robs a sacred jewel from a temple and is haunted by its curse. The film couldn't have been too serious since one of the characters was named "Froggie the Vampire"[3].
