My favorite magician is Mickey in Fantasia.
I ate at a Steak n Shake a couple of weeks ago and was amused to see a poster of him (and a lineup of employees) just inside the entrance. You don't see that at other chains -- OK maybe Dave the Wendy's guy, but that was when he was also in their TV ads.
Well he wasn't a magician in the latest movie, but up in Fort Wayne he was featured on Happy the Hobo when I was a kid and I LOVED THE SHOW!
