  Let me entertain you at your next company or private get-together with my act of mystery, music and laughter. My production is a laugh-a-minute good time for all ages. It can be geared to either children or adults or a combination of both. Shows are also offered to meet most budgets. I can work with your organization as a means of a money-making project. Whether it be my stand-up act or strolling, I can help your prom, birthday party, anniversary, reception, banquet, homecoming, celebration, company picnic, etc. with just that added touch to make it the success you want it to be.
The wearing of coins of all denominations on my bald pate has been a tradition/signature of mine since 1957. I did this only at magic conventions and at other assemblies where magicians meet. I did so only as a joke and attention-getter. In 1978 the "nails thru quarters in forehead" evolved. Thus, "Carl Karl's Headquarters" that evoke stares and comments from surprised observers.

Thank you ..............magically yours, Carl Karl
