Biography

His hobby was antique magic collecting.[1]

In 1952 he opened "Daniel's Magic Den" in Pasadena and put out several items under the "Trickmasters" label.

From 1953 to 1955, he served in the Artillery and was over-seas for 18 months. He did do a few shows, and while doing one in Berlin, he met Irene Stolz (the future Irene Larsen). He eventually brought her back to the United States in 1957 and they were married.[2]

He joined forces with Carl Owen in 1958 and eventually purchased Owen Magic in 1960.[3]

His son Dante Larsen was an editor of Genii magazine (after Bill Larsen became ill).[4]
