No, it was Adam who appeared in the Charmin commercial, not Jamie.

And Randi had been on television and radio fairly often throughout the sixties, so I imagine there were quite a few people who knew of him.

Hey - Didn’t Jamie from Mythbusters star in one of those “Mr. Whipple - Please don’t squeeze the Charmin” commercials when he was a kid? I think they even showed it in an episode. It reminds me of that.

Oh yes…

There needs to be a sizable presence of Bounce dryer sheets at the next TAM…wrappings for plaques, props (they keep popping out in the darnedest places), things like that.

Priceless doesn’t begin to describe it…

I’d be curious to find out what year this is from. Definitely looks mid-70s. Was Randi well enough known at the time that viewers would already know who he is, or at least that he’s a famous magician, without any introduction?

Or was he just being an anonymous actor in a commercial? Some people here seem to be implying this, but I don’t think that’s it - I think he was already famous enough that this was a celebrity endorsement.

Oh, my god. Just when you think you’ve seen it all, someone finds Randi pushing dryer sheets!
