Compars "Carl" Herrmann (b.1816-d.1887) was the first of sixteen children in the Herrmann family which included his brother Alexander Herrmann. He left medical school at an early age to pursue a career as a magician and served as a role model and inspiration for Alexander.
Biography
Carl, was slender, somewhat demonic in appearance. He wore an imperial beard and handlebar moustache to perpetuate or enhance the Mephistopheles (demon featured in German folklore) look. As he got older the hair on is head got thin. Carl’s humor was sly, and he presented his magic in a mysterious manner. He was from the old school of magic. The critics of his day said his performing ability was on par with the most talented actors, singers, and dancers of the 19th century.
While attending classes at Grandes écoles, he tried to fit in with his upper crust classmates at the prestige’s school. He went to Fontainebleau(which was a commune in the metropolitan area of Paris, France) with his classmates. Fontainebleau was renowned for its large scenic forests which surrounded the city and dozens of villages. It was a favorite weekend getaway for Parisians, as well as for the reigning monarchs of the time.
