Television Magic

Television Magic was a very early United States television series which aired in 1932. Broadcast in New York City on experimental station W2XAB (now WCBS-TV), it aired on mechanical television. It was announced in the September 17, 1932 edition The New York Sun, with the article "Best Features on Television" saying that "Edwin Howard will bring vaudeville magic to television" and "card tricks and the difficult needle stunt will be given their initial trial over television".[1]

Scheduling

For at least some of the episodes, the series aired at 8:00PM on Wednesday and was the first show on the day's schedule, and was followed by 1-minute baseball scores and then dancer Grace Voss.[2][1][3]
