Adolph Carll - Thurston's Chief Mechanic


You never know what treasure will be discovered when you search for an obscure magician on the Conjuring Arts Research Center’s “Ask Alexander” database. For this posting, it turns out that a scaling card given out by Adolph Carll, revealed an interesting story.

Carll was born in Baltimore July 28, 1882. According to census records, his father was Henry Carll, mother Louisa Ziegler and he had two brothers, Gusdolph and Otto. By the 1910 census, his father must have passed away as he is no longer in the household.
