The stage is set in a way that suggests that several things would be attempted. Kar-Mi is very dark-skinned, much more than his female assistant.
The man has an accent, perhaps from India, but it sounds somewhat Dutch.
The illusionist is billed as a prince of India.
Kar-Mi has two assistants, a male and female. The female is mostly employed for the disappearances. The main illusion, at the end, has the illusionist borrowing a couple of watches from the audience. There is also a sword swallowing bit in which Kar-Mi swallows a bayonet affixed to a heavy musket. Later he loads the gun and fires it at his male assistant, knocking off a card placed on top of his head.
It is an odd act for present-day vaudeville. It ought to get attention on the small big time.
