Evans, Henry R. (1902). Magic And Its Professors. George Routledge & Sons. p. 85. "Among English conjurers, David Devant is justly celebrated as a versatile and original genius. For a number of years he has proved a drawing-card at Egyptian Hall, and now heads the road company of Maskelyne & Cooke. As a silhouettist he is second only to the great Trewey. Mr. Devant presents an admirable imitation of the Chinese conjurer and his tricks."
