Carl Ballantine always made me laugh

He was funny on "McHALE'S NAVY," but I'll mostly remember CARL BALLANTINE for his hilariously incompetent magic.
Ballantine passed away yesterday, age 92.
Born Meyer Kessler in Chicago, Ballantine billed himself as "Ballantine, the World's Greatest Magician," but he aimed to be just the opposite.
(Click here, to see a bit of Ballantine later in his career, on the Cosby Show.)
He might not have been able to pull a rabbit out of his hat, but Ballantine always made me laugh.
