Fantasio

Fantasio appeared several times on the Ed Sullivan show. Remember, this was the day before he began to sell his original vanishing, appearing canes and candles. To us today, the act appears a bit slow, but one has to remember that he was the originator of these plastic devices and nobody was doing what has now become standard among many magicians. I can remember watching Fantasio on the original broadcasts and the multiplying candles absolutely flummoxed me. Enjoy.
