He became interested in magic at age of twelve and gave his first performance in his English class at Albany High School. Between 1935 to 1937, he created his own shows and performed at various schools, theaters, and clubs in southern Kentucky and Tennessee. At an early age, Garrett broke his neck, leaving him unable to make his livelihood by jobs that required any exertion of great physical energy. For most of his life he was employed as an auto parts man at a local auto parts house in Albany. He later started dealing in used and rare magic, with his advertisements showing up in magic magazines during the late 1930s.
