Life
After school he learned the trade of a farmer.

In 1946 he appeared for the first time in public and full-time as a magician in the Varieté Capitol, Konstanz. Since then he has called himself Rolf Andra - the laughing magician . In addition to his full-length programs, he primarily devoted himself to the art of magic with playing cards, an area on which he has published several pioneering publications and written articles in several German-language magical periodicals.
