Biography
He would use the name "Keith Clark" for French audiences, but for American shows he was billed as "Pierre Cartier".
Later in life, he was known as something of a recluse among magicians, mixing with the fraternity very little. Although in 1968 he appeared at the Flying Sorcerers' Reunion.
