Hello, I am The
Great Karlini. I am a professional magician residing in Connecticut. I
have performed across the country, competing in competitions in PA, Ohio,
Texas, and other states. During Magi-Fest in Columbus, Ohio, I placed 1st in close up, 3rd in stage,
and received a full scholarship to the most prestigious magic camp in
Canada, Sorcerers Safari.
In
close-up conditions, my magic ranges from cards, coins and magic using
everyday objects. On stage I am notorious for escaping from
straightjackets upside down and suspending audience participants in the
air. In the NMA, a magic club in Bridgeport, CT, I was awarded the
Future Star of Magic award, given to the youth member with the most
potential. I am involved in all of my local clubs, and perform in their
shows annually. I perform for weddings, corporate events, children's
birthday parties and more. I have mentored 3 rising magicians, and am
currently working with a young magician on his comedic stage act. My
magic comes from the dozens of magic books and DVDs that I own, as well
as my local magic clubs and my mentor, past president of the Society of
American Magicians (SAM), Bill Andrews
