Chester L. Karkut born August 29, 1915 in Shelton,
Connecticut, Chet started his interest in magic late in life in his early
thirties. He actually got his foot in the door as an advertising model for many
of the large manufacturers. When he did start his magic interests, Chet’s act
was billed as “Magic in the Modern Manner.” His act was always the highlight at
club gatherings and conventions.
