I watched him a lot on tv as a kid. He was the first 'comedy magician' that I can recall. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqQVq-tfVaU
Never met him myself, but have heard many good things about him from those who did.

Carl, was the consumate performer. His character was honed to perfection.
If any indication of his abilities, he was just about the only guest magician ever to appear on a David Copperfield special.
As well as his magical prowess, he was seen on screen in a huge number of films, and television series, dating back from 1948.
I can think of few performers that will be as missed as much as Carl.
