Chuck Jones

Chuck Jones (b.1942) is a magician, inventor, producer and creator of the Mismade Girl illusion.

Biography

Inspired and taught by the female magician Dell O'Dell at her Hollywood magic shop as a child, Jones was performing up to six birthday parties a weekend in high school. Some for Hollywood celebrities’ kids such as Judy Garland and Anthony Quinn. Jones acquired Dell O'Dell's magic collection after her passing.

After performing at a party for the writer of the Johnny Carson Show, Jones was asked to appear in a TV skit with Carson.

He later went on to produce and appear in his own a daily, live cartoon show at KCOP in Hollywood.

His Mismade Girl illusion was featured by Orson Welles on the Jackie Gleason Show.
