I was writing a script about seeing another magician perform a magic trick, and I was going to use the old “Foo LingYu” as their name.
Thinking about it I’m worried it’s slightly racist, and I was wondering if anyone could suggest any other funny magician names that don’t have any racial connotations?

Thank you!

Slytoff Hand.

for starters.

Thanks for the suggestions!

What is the gist of the trick you are attributing to the magician?

Maybe you shouldn't focus on a generic name, but on the specific trick (maybe implying it was the only trick he or she knew).

Examples:

Shell game: Bunco the Magician; Cheat-ini
Three card trick: Three card Monty
Rope trick: Ropey the Clown

Once had a car salesman named Joe King

I would stick with your original name. I don’t think it’s racist I am sure if you search hard enough
You’ll find a Mr Yu.. I think we are being to sensitive.

I live in a city that had a Vietnamese Restaurant called Pho King They even sold t-shirts that said "I love Pho King".
True store...
