Bartl began as a traveling professional magician under the stage name "Aradi". In 1910 he moved to Hamburg, where in 1911 he and his wife Rosa Bartl opened a magic shop called “Bartl's Academy for Modern Magical Art” .
From 1919 to 1924 he entered into a partnership with Carl Willmann and produced magic tricks and props in the "United Magic Apparatus Factory Bartl & Willmann" . Then he bought Willmann's share and continued to run the business on his own until 1935 as "Carl Willmann-Janos Bartl successor" . The company soon became world famous.
