First Magician to Apear on Television?

As you can see there is no doubt that he appeared on TV as early as 1939. I don't know of any other magician who can make that claim. Of course he was only thirteen at the time, did not perform, and was one of thousands of people to get that early privilege. Still, I think that's the way I'll tell it to everyone else, "He was the First magician to be televised."

The 1939 World's Fair in New York is legendary for it's introduction of technology and the imaginative art deco stylizing of images. The future had arrived and it was a place everyone wanted to see. My Grandmother took my Dad, and it was something he always talked about. We have some other material from the fair as well. When I find that I will post it also.
