"His stage entrance is shrouded in mystery, as he materializes from a cabinet which a second before had, apparently, no one in it. From that time until the close of the act he is in constant action." "From a small tub in which three eggs are placed he extracts an equal number of live geese and an aquarium with gold fish swimming around materializes under a handkerchief on a table in plain view of the audience." "The piece de resistance of the illusion portion of the act comes at the close, when Miss Francioli is placed in a large cannon which is discharged, the attractive young lady materializing a few minutes later from a securely locked trunk which has remained suspended in view of the audience during the entire act."
"Mystery follows mystery so close on each other's heels that the audience does not recover from one surprise before it is puzzling over another."
"As a magician Mr. Golden is a wonder and many of his tricks are among original lines."
