After the war, he stayed in occupied Germany where he entertained American Forces with a Chinese magic act from 1945 to 1951.

Carolly moved to the United States in 1951, eventually ended up in Miami Beach Florida where he was a hit. He played in most hotel in the area as well as private parties, children shows, conventions and hospitals.

In 1962, he toured with the USO in the Far East and then in 1964 started working on a cruise ship which he did steadily until 1980. [2]
