She has been a full-time professional magician since 1985.     Carol met fellow magician, Joe Givan while performing at Magic Island in Houston, Texas and soon after they created Dream Masterz Theatrical Illusion Show.  Joe and Carol opened their own “Theatre of Dreams”in April, 2003 and have received enormous accolades from the worldwide magic community for their contribution to the art of magic!   They were featured in a 4-page article in the June 2015 issue of MAGIC Magazine and since then, there are more theatres patterned after their popping up across the country, just like magic!
