English:
William B. Wood (1861/1862 – January 20, 1908) was an American illusionist and ventriloquist who toured South America and Europe with his own company. Billed professionally as Will B. Wood and sometimes called "The Kellar of South America", in reference to mentor Harry Kellar (1849–1922), he was born in Pennsylvania in 1861 or 1862 and began a career in illusions and ventriloquism in 1886 with his wife. After his wife retired in 1906, Wood continued touring until his accidental death on January 20, 1908, which was explored unsuccessfully for foul play.
