The Great Atroy is the only performer photographed by Eason who we have been able to track down any information on. He seems to have had a reasonably successful professional career and is described by one source as a "society juggler".
A great deal of thought and work has gone into the making of this photograph both in terms of creating the set and the illusion of a trick actually taking place. The candle and gun smoke have been hand painted by Eason.
