## The story

Uncle Dale filmed every episode in his own wood-paneled basement wearing a cape made from a shower curtain. His rabbit, Mister Buttons, refused to go into the hat, so Dale used a guinea pig instead. The tricks failed constantly, but he took a bow every time, and kids loved him more than any professional magician.

## Fun fact

Viewers could mail Dale a self-addressed envelope and he would send back a signed playing card.
