Las Vegas performers during the 1950s. Led by the legendary Karl Carsony
(born Karl Schrom in Austria, 1924-2012) with accompaniment of his younger twin
brothers Englebert and Joseph Carsony, The Carsony Brothers got their
start performing balancing acts in Europe. Soon they earned an international
tour to the U.S. where they became stars in Hollywood, New York and the
entertainment capital of the world, Las Vegas. In 1952, Karl was
commissioned to perform a one-arm handstand on a cane at the top of the 50 ft.
tower pylon sign at the Sahara Hotel. The feat won the Carsonys a home at
the popular casino. They continued their world tours and Vegas acts until the
twins died in 1964. Karl continued as a Vegas entertainer, becoming one of the
city's greatest acrobatic icons. The name Carsony comes from a POW camp Karl
was imprisoned in during WWII. Lightly bowed. Corners and edges creased and
worn. Inscription in faint contrast, but legible. Creased throughout. Otherwise,
fine condition.
