519: Dal Sanders - Still Smiling

Dal Sanders was with the McDonald’s organization for 40 years and is still smiling. And he has a lot to smile about. He is still entertaining children through his Kartoon Circus television show on SpydarTV that is broadcast internationally and features him as the magical ringmaster and his lovely wife, Cindy, as “Boopsie the Clown”. He is Past National President of the Society of American Magicians and currently edits the Magic Compass, an online newsletter that features stories about current events in the magic community. He and Cindy also teach magic at the Dallas Magic Academy and he produces “Magic In The Living Room” each month at a venue in Dallas, Texas. He is also responsible for Magic Monday on “All In With Bryan Weatherford”, another online television show that features business entrepreneurs. And in 2019 he was presented with an Award of Merit by the Academy of Magical Arts for helping to get congress to pass a bill recognizing magic as a legitimate art form. In other words, Dal is a busy, busy man.
