Dell was an American female magician regarded oin her profession as a pioneer who provided a role model & paved the way for modern female performers, like Julie.
Listen in to find out more about Dell, who besides magic was able to balance a couch on her chin while climbing a ladder (whaaat??) and endorsed juggling potatoes, while cooking dinner,  to women & housewives all over America to keep in shape.
