I just wanted to say I was on his show in or around 1985 with my brownie troop. I still get a kick outta
that VHS my mom has and the cartoons were great thanks for an incredible memories, Mr. Magic. –MP
I grew up watching Dick Williams on Magicland and I spent many hours learning how to perform the
magician's finger exercises he did at the close of each show. I still amaze children and adults with
those same finger exercises which I learned from Dick Williams back in the 1960's. Thanks for adding
to the enjoyment of my life with his life and show. -WS
My brother and I watched you EVERY weekend even when we thought we were too old! We would try to change the channel
real quick when we were teenagers if anyone came in the room. Thank you so so much for making so many kids in the
Midsouth laugh and enchanting us for so many years. You helped us all hold on to our childhoods and enjoy the wonders
magic. I will always think of you with a smile in my heart and hope you are doing well. -CS


...more Magicland memories
Mr. Magic had a wonderful and wholesome program that parents let their kids watch with no fear of bad influences.
Today’s children's programs can't hold a candle to Mr. Magic…they are repulsive. Mr. Magic is a legend, and I urge all
who enjoyed him in childhood to keep him in your prayers. Show him the love and kindness he showed us. -TC
I was on Magicland with my cub scout pack. I hardly missed an episode, even while I was in college, until he retired. -DC
Thank you for the many hours of pleasure you gave me as a child growing up here in Memphis! I always loved watching you do
magic tricks. Thanks again for bringing so much joy to so many people! -VH
Growing up in Memphis I watched Magicland quite a lot. Tell Mr. Magic thanks for the memories...-DP
I just want to drop a note to thank you for so many years of the most wonderful entertainment. I have the fondest childhood
memories of enjoying your show. I will never forget you coming to our school when I was in the first grade. You even had me
come on stage to "assist" in one of your tricks. I am only one of many who appreciate your years of service. -DR
I'll be 50 in August, and am riddled with arthritis. My hands, however, are still extremely
dexterous, as I still do my "magicians finger exercises" daily. Thank you for that, as well as all the
great memories from what seems a lifetime ago. I hope the world is treating you kindly. -DM
I loved your show and my four little brothers did, too. We are in our 50's & 40's but we still talk
about your show. You were the best so thank you for being one of my best memories of my
childhood. -JD
I grew up in Covington, TN. Magicland was a regular part of my youth in the mid to late 70s. I found a short clip from
1983 on Youtube, and it brought back a flood of memories. I'm 40 years old, but I always remember the things that
made me happy as a child. Magicland most definitely made me happy. -HP

When I was a kid, I remember begging my parents to take me to Memphis so I could be on Magicland. I was 10 when it went off
the air, and I don't think I ever missed one episode. Even know, as an adult, when I meet people who watched the show
growing up, we do that hand/finger thing. It's like a secret handshake among the kids in the Memphis area when the show
aired! Thanks, Mr. Williams! God bless you and your family! -JM
In 1977, I was on the show. Twelve years later found out that my husband was also on that same show. We were both called
up to do magic tricks that day. Whenever asked how we met, we always mention Magicland. -CB
What a wonderful way to grow up in Memphis. Seeing the great tricks he would perform! I wish my kids could have seen him
perform at least once. -BO
Is there any way that you can put the Magicland series on DVD for sale? I would love to share this with my children! -TT
I have a copy of the last show (23rd anniversary) and now my 6-year-old watches it quite often. Magicland still has appeal. -SC
I watched Magicland every Sunday morning for years. It was because of Dick Williams that I learned to roll coins across my
fingers and still have a great interest in magic today. I remember being lucky enough to be a member of his studio audience
twice! Fond memories. They just don't have kids TV like that anymore. Too bad. -KC
I wanted to drop you a line and tell you how many fond memories I have from watching your show growing up. To this day, I
show my four children some of the tricks I learned from your show. The entertainment you gave us is simply not around today.
You were a very positive role model for me. -RS
