Troseth was a salesman for Libby by day which had many Chicago hotels and clubs as customers. When a magician or MC was needed for a hotel job at night, Troseth was usually first in their mind.
He was was a President of the local Chicago Assembly S.A.M. and wrote for magic magazines, including Genii, keeping others abreast on the Chicago magic scene.[2]
After semi-retiring, Troseth moved to Florida, remaining active in magic as the Dean of Assembly 76 in Miami. [3][4]
