Stuart Cramer, even though graduated with a law degree from Western Reserve University in 1936, was a professional magician nearly all of his life.

Cramer returned to Cleveland where he grew up after serving in the Navy in World War II and used it as a base throughout his long performing career.

He performed on a Cleveland television station in 1947, with a twice-weekly ten-minute live-audience kid show. He continued in TV into the 1960s. He once did a daily weather report, presenting trick every day, as "Mr. Meriweather" for three years.

He met the reclusive Cleveland magician Karl Germain in 1932, and worked in weekly visits with him.[1]
