Historians credit Richard Potter as not only being the first African-American magician, but perhaps the first American-born magician. Born to a slave mother and her owner in Massachusetts in 1783, Potter was taught the trade by a Scottish magician. He was able to create a large following by using strategic advertising and putting on an exciting show. Legend has it that Potter was even able to perform in the south while slavery was still in existence. 
 
King, who became familiar with Potter's work, got his start in theater, and has used his background to influence his stage presence, using music and dance to complement the tricks.
