Karrell Fox (1928 - 1998)
When Fox was a child, his parents operated a small restaurant. A customer sneaked out without paying his bill, but left behind a few small tricks. With these, Karrell began his magic career. By the age of 18, Karrell appeared on the "Ed Sullivan Show" and was co-owner of a
Fox was a regular performer at Abbott's Get-Togethers. Abb Dickson was Karrell's "Partner in Fun" for more than 25 years, performing with him at magic conventions all over the world. For several years he wrote the column "FOX-TALES" in "TOPS" magazine. Fox served as the 48th International President of the I.B.M. from 1986 to 1987. His inventions included Bullseye Card, B.S. Miser's Dream Pail, Magical Assets, Nite-Cap, Take It and Stick It, Two Fisted Book Test, Mene-Tekel Book Test, Knifty Knot, No Not, Baffling Blow-Outs and many more. Fox was noted for his creative ideas and his ability to streamline the handling of effects.
Karrell Fox was a very funny man known for his corny humor - often referred to as Karrell's Korn - and he was a superb magician with an amazing ability to create DIRECT magic. By that I mean he was able to achieve an effect in a very straightforward manner whereas others would create a similar effect and take the long way of achieving the same result. Luckily for us he produced a whole heap of books that are bursting at the seams with ideas and very commercial magic. This is the stuff that you can put straight into your act and make money from it.
This book is divided into chapters on
Table Magic
Card Magic
Mentalism
Kids Magic
MC's Gags
Stage Magic
Bits and Pieces
Every chapter is bursting with useable material. Some of my favorites are "A Chanin-ized Silk Vanish. This is a very clever, easy way to vanish - in your hands - a large 18 inch silk handkerchief. I am just waiting to find a use for this. Not only will it impress your audience it will fool many magician friends.
Baffling Blow Outs is a very silly but very commercial piece of fun that you could do at any family show, especially if you had a large stage show to do for hundreds of people. It uses the cheap party tooters that kids blow birthday parties and some plastic tubing. You have to set yourself up for each performance but it'd be worth it.
