Exclusive Digital Magic Products for Magicians

Dell O’Dell, stage name of Odella Newton (1897 – 1962), was an American magician and pioneer role model for modern female performers. She was noted for being one of the first magicians to appear on television, hosting her own show (The Dell O’Dell Show) on ABC’s local station in Los Angeles. She was also one of few American women to have her own circus—Della O’Dell Society Circus—which toured the midwest in 1925 and 1926. Before becoming one of the most popular female magicians on the night club circuit during the 1930s through to the 50s, Dell O’Dell also performed in vaudeville and burlesque. Her skills included juggling furniture and lecturing on physical culture.
