Saw a magician on YouTube billed as from the Orient named Li King Si in a 1957 Ernie Kovacs television Festival of Magic special. He did a credible Zombie. He and his female assistant looked...well let's just say Billy Robinson looked more the part.
Turns out he was a Frenchman named Farhat. Anyone know anything more about him?

Re: Li King Si
Actually, though he performed under the name "Farhat" his real name appears to be Edouard (Georges) Cassel, according to Magicpedia.
