Can you match these magicians to the right TV shows?
Everyone from Orson Welles to The Amazing Randi performed magic on classic TV.
The art of illusion has existed as long as humans have. Surely, one caveman pulled a rock out of the ear of another. But magic, and the people who performed it, exploded in popularity with the advent of television. Magicians were frequent guests on variety and talk programs in the '60s and '70s. Even scripted shows got in on the act!

Left out Hal Linden's Blacke's Magic and Bill Bixby's The Magician.
You are so right. I miss The Magician a lot. I thought it was better than My Favorite Martian, but not as good as The Incredible Hulk, which co-starred Lou Ferrigno as The Hulk.
I picked up a box set of every episode of The Magician on DVD about a decade ago. So awesome!
Zalto looks a lot like the late Al Lewis.
He was indeed played by Al Lewis, and he was hilarious. (So was his dummy.)
Not to hard 10/11

11/11 - fortunate to get all of them correct. Guessed on Orson Welles being a magician on I Love Lucy. Did not look much like Charles Foster Kane by then. Rosebud...
Only Lucy had enough star power to get Orson Welles to appear on her show!
He did appear on another show {Or rather his voice did:} He was the voice of the novelist Robin Masters, {he was the one who invited Magnum to stay at his mansion;} on 5 episodes of Magnum P.I.
