2. Saratoga Ballantine and The World's Greatest?
25m · PublishedFor the first half of the 20th Century one name was synonymous with the phrase, “comedy magic.” That name was Carl Ballantine.
With hundred of appearances on tv variety shows, sitcoms, films, and personal appearances, The Great Ballantine performed his act without ever finishing a trick.
Today’s guest is Saratoga Ballantine who gives us behind the scenes stories of his beginnings, his thoughts, and how he got his ideas as well as the origin of his name. She even gives us suggestions on how to get a much-coveted pass to Hollywood’s exclusive club, The Magic Castle.
