Bamberg Magical Dynasty

The Bamberg Magical Dynasty were a Dutch family of magicians, consisting of six generations of Bambergs.[1] The Bambergs were an upper middle-class Jewish family.[2] Three Bambergs were court magicians who entertained the Dutch royal family, and many of the Bambergs were also trained actors.[3] This chain was unbroken for 165 years, from the 18th to the 20th centuries.[4]
