R.I.P., Marshall Brodien. I loved watching you on the Bozo Show when I was little, and I was so excited when I got one of your magic kits for Christmas. Thank you for the memories!!

R.I.P., Marshall Brodien. 😢🎩✨🐇

What a beautiful tribute to a very classy gentleman. Please credit everyone who worked on this report.

🎶Doody Doody Dooo!!!🎶 Lol. You, Bozo, Cookie, Frazier Thomas, Ray Raynor, Cuddly Duddley, Chauncy the duck and Clutch Cargo were my childhood. RIP Wizzo. 😢😭☹

The classic Bozo show was so excellent. We were blessed.

Which classic Bozo show, there were many. When I lived in the Quad Cities we had a different Bozo in Moline then Chicago did. The first Bozo was in Las Angeles the last was in Chicago. Before cable TV every region in the U.S. had their own Bozo.

@@525Lines I don`t remember much about the Moline Bozo we moved to the Chicago area in 1969, but I remember the Moline Bozo being just as good as the Chicago Bozo. Bozo the clown was invented by Alan W. Livingston in 1946. Bozo even appeared in other countries. The people who owned the rights to Bozo made a crap load of money off Bozo with TV shows, cartoons, books, comic books, cereal, and ect.

Wizzo was my favorite clown on the Bozo Show. He was wacky like me. RIP Great One.

Great artist, proud to say I grew up enjoying his act, and I still do his catchphrase, which is how I came here today.

A great life is when you really enjoy your passion and can make a living at it while making other people happy and often laugh. RIP Magic Man.

The true fortune those of us had experiencing classic wholesome entertainment during our developmental years. Am a proud Gen Xer and feel we were the last generation to be lucky enough to witness true talent on television. Those that may disagree, I won’t criticize...you just had to be alive then to understand...no fault of your own. Rest in peace Mr. Brodien and thanks for your gift to us all. 😔🙏🏻

Very sad. I met Mr Brodien in a Wal-Mart parking lot in Geneva about 5 years ago. Nice guy and full of stories too

I SOOOOO remember the card commercial!!! The fact that he played in this epic show and sure did entertain this kid in Peoria makes me wonder why there isn't more comments and views. RIP sir.

Wizzo was the doody doody best!

Another Icon gone from my youth. Rest in peace Sir.

WOW, I remember watching WIZZO on the Bozo Show! I grew up in Louisville, KY but watched WGN via Cable TV! Chicago TV in the 80's / 90's was INCREDIBLE!

Marshall Brodien: the first person to get away with "doodying" on television.

When TV was good!! RIP Sir. Thank you for giving us great memories!

Thanks for all your Magic over the years! Rest in peace.

I was curious about him and just now found out he died. Thanks, WGN for preserving this for us! RIP

R. I. P. Wizzo the clown Chicagoland will miss you.

Wonderful tribute piece, beautifully done.

He is a Chicago area treasure who entertained us for decades.

Marshall Brodien was a magician since he was 8. And also developed his trade as a sideshow barker at the Riverview Amusement Park. He served in the army in the 1950s at Fort Carson in Colorado and performed more than 700 shows while in the Army at hospitals, noncommissioned officers clubs and private parties. At age 16, Brodien worked at Chicago's Riverview Park, performing magic tricks .He has been entertaining millions for years. My favorite introduction of Marshall Brodien was the TV commercial about TV Magic Cards. He created TV Magic Cards (Renamed The Svengali Deck). If you want to know how to learn about doing magic. Well he couldn't have stress the point by making anymore simply by saying most magic tricks are easy once you know the secret .I love the TV Magic Cards, the mechanical deck that all by itself. I remembered I had the TV magic set containing lots of amazing and wonderful items to perform amazing magic tricks. I had hours of fun. Brodien, who has been making semi-regular guest appearances performing magic tricks as himself on Bozo's Circus since 1962, began appearing as a wizard character in an Arabian Nights-inspired costume in 1968 and evolved into Wizzo the Wizard by the early 1970s. He was billed as being from "Arobia". And possessed the magical stone of Zanzabar. With one magic Wizzo say the magic words Doody , doody . doody. There is a book titled, The Magical Life of Marshall Brodien published in 2007. Marshall Brodien a good magician. 1934-2019. RIP.

What an amazing tribute.

Dootie dootie dootie do! The Magic Stone of Zanzibar lives on! And the memory of Wizzo will live forever!

Don't touch my arm. DON'T TOUCH MY ARM!

Rip legend

A very nice memorial. CHEERS!

Great Memories, I remember his commercial t.v. magic cards R.I.P.

Rest in peace. Few took a pie so well.

“Most magic tricks are easy....once you know the secret”...RIP Marshall Brodien

funny guy....I still remember watching the Ray Raynor show in the mid 70s....I agree with Tom...all these childhood guys are dying all around us.....

That commercial for TV Magic Cards was shown like crazy here in L.A. on KTTV Ch. 11, the former Dodger station from 1958 to 1992 for years. 📺📺📺📺📺 😁😁😁😁😉

The good ole days of Chicago family entertainment 🙂 RIP Wizzo.

A great loss😢😢😢

What a truly amazing man, not only did I watch him on The Bozo Show or Bozo circus, I was lucky enough back in the day to meet him when he worked at Riverview barking the freak Show... hey-hey-hey-hey Step Up step up and see the alligator lady she walks she talks she crawls on her belly like a reptile, she spits drinks, she might bite but that's alright most of the men like her anyway...see the alligator lady! And don't forget the visit Popeye the only human in history who can remove his eyes! Next juicy Bertha she's big and she's round and over 500 lb. Boy do I sure miss those days...

I just found this I've been doing the doo dee doo dee do to my 12 year old son he said what is that it's Mr wizzo I said I'm 55 god I loved bozo show

Rip 😢😢😢

❤❤

I had a set of those Magic Cards when I was a kid. A lot of those old timers have been dying off in recent years, it`s like my childhood is dying off since I watched all these people on TV as a kid. That was a neat trick getting Robin out of her bra like that.

RIP

Where's that F**k'in cage!!! Wizzo had staying power.

RIP Whizzo

👌

Did he perform for Richard Nixon?

It wasn’t Bozo the clown 🤡 or Cookie . It was then Wizard Wizzo I liked best as a kid. 😊Rip Wiz
