Bio[]

Ali Ben Casey was an obscure stage magician that performed under the guise of a swami (a Hindu teacher) in the late 1950s to early 1960s. His real name is unknown, but Ginger worked with him and learned how to do fortune tellings and seances under his tutelage. Not much more is known about him.

Trivia[]

  • Ginger also mentions working with Merlin the Mind Reader early in her career.
  • The name is also likely a reference to the 1960s medical TV show, "Ben Casey".
