Biography
Zamloch worked as a magician for many years. In the off-season from baseball, he toured the country performing a magic act. His father was professional magician Antone Zamloch who performed under the name "Zamloch the Great" and "Professor Zamloch") in the late 19th Century and early 20th Century.[1]
In 1937, Carl Zamloch published a book, "17 Simple but Mystifying Tricks to Entertain Your Friends," under the pseudonym "The Great Zam." The book was a pamphlet published by Signal Oil Co. as a premium. Carl Zamloch was one of the first magicians performing the "Card on the Ceiling" trick, doing it while in his teens.[2]
A biography of baseball player (and amateur magician) Joe Abreu reports that he first became interested in magic when Carl Zamloch put on a magic show at McClymond’s High School in 1932.
In his later years, he worked as a sales executive and legislative consultant for the Signal Oil and Gas Company. He died of a stroke at the age of 73 in Santa Barbara, California, in 1963. He is buried at Sunset View Cemetery, El Cerrito, California.
