[@jollycooperators9580]

Just realized I saw this man when I was on vacation in Denmark as a kid. Never knew who he was or saw anything of him since, until now. He made me cry with laughter. Cool to see him again, over a decade later!

[@SicketMog]

Yeah pretty funny guy (can't stand most magicians; this man keeps it light). He's been doing a show at Liseberg , Gothenburg for many years (not nowadays though).

Not as good I would say but saw him live at Liseberg a few years back (both of these were in his act) and the best part for me was that it was a daytime show and he made multiple small children in the audience cry and leave immediately during that first part; not doubt scarred.😂

[@samspencer582]

He is a good magician and a funny comedian. I must watch more of this great man.

[@_BAD_MERC_]

His whole presentation and humility is absolutely hysterical. I'm getting the impression he's never listen to the cassette tape.

[@rsguitar335]

I was fortunate to see Carl-Einer 18 years ago at a TAOM Convention. I had never heard of him, but have not laughed as hard at a magic comedy act since! Excellent entertainer!

[@CarlEinarHackner]

I remember that gig. That was so fun.

[@olddriver1402]

I took a massive gulp of water just as he took out the "bandana" and was trying so hard not to laugh and spit the water out. I failed 😂

I saw Copperfield do this trick on TV in the 80s when I was a kid, but Carl's presentation and personality just add to the hilarity.

[@TK-er2tw]

Do you know where the banana went?? 😅

[@imbetterthanyouis]

i remember that too , it was the great wall of china illusion special

[@privatename5788]

@@TK-er2tw In Copperfield's version, he was just holding it behind the purse he pretended to put it in. With this one, it's harder. I suspect a hidden pocket in the bandana. Makes sense why he mutilated the banana so badly until it was just a peel. It needed to go flat.

[@Randallsilver]

I laughed myself to tears with this silly guy. Haters: grow a sense of humour

[@Harbaron]

I would love to watch Karl's full show. That was hilarious.

[@sobreaver]

Practical silliness, with a touch of humor and magic, nice !

[@ArgaAnders]

Carl-Einar blir bara bättre och bättre med åren! Som en fin burk sill!!

[@AMARBHAVE]

The banana is STILL in the cloth. The cloth has a subtle and hidden compartment in which he put the banana and pressed it. Notice the cloth when he opens it and waves it towards the very end of the video before it puts it down on the floor. The cloth has a slight but visible thickness in the middle.

[@Zerbey]

The trick is something you can find in any magic shop, it's the presentation that's genius.

[@Darmachakra]

AMAZING! So good, i really was laughing in tears, fantastic!!!!

[@salcinicus9537]

[@kamileishon]

ah I love him! I feel sorry for you all who dont know how to apprecate this wonderfully silly man!

[@DriesduPreez]

I think I know how it's done. The 'normal dark colored hanky' isn't really normal. It's actually a double layered one, and when he stuffs the bandanna into it, he slips it in between the layers (hidden compartment/pocket). When he flings it open you can still see the weight of the banana, but his wacky style and pace makes that you do not have time to register the shape of the banana when he turns it around. The dark color also hides the shaded area caused by the bulge.

[@adrianstraith6536]

Yeah, i'm pretty sure you're right

[@AAllen-br8it]

I like the idea of a magician whose character is a dunce that just achieves all of his tricks by accident. Pretty funny performance.
