too long while showing some routine
card tricks before a regiment of
customers gathered on stage, the
masters Show of 1,00l Wonders
is varied and swiftly moving.
There is nothing new on this pro-
gram for old admirers of Blackstone,
and they probably expect nothing
new. Many of the illusions he
creates are those YOU have seen him
do before and some are those You
have seen others do. But with
Blackstone, it is the performance
that counts, the rare flavor of corn
in his jokes, the grand and fam
boyant manner with which he is
ready to convince you that this is
black magic and no mere mechani-
cal trick. That the mere mechanics
may let him down and the black
out curtain fail to drop in time to
convince you that a girl has dis
appeared into thin air is nothing to
ruffle the Blackstone aplomb. You
probably imagined that.

AS usual, Blackstone has with him

push heavy equipment about and
pretty girls to be sawed in half,
made to vanish and to be subjected

including the highly charged leers
their boss lets loose whenever one
appears.
The saving g-in-half trick probably
is still close to the best illusion
Blackstone performs. 1t is an old
trick and there probably is an anna
.teur magician in your block who
could tell you simply how it's done,
but as it always has been executed
by Blackstone it is one of those
things you see and still refuse to
believe because it is impossible You

doing her some slight damage, but
this impressive past master of his

there is some sort of trick to the

with wires, could he? Or could he?
There is something of a gamut of
magic run in this SHOW of 1,001
Wonders" and while that count may
be high there still are enough wond-
ers to keep admirers of this sort of
thing happy through an afternoon
or evening. Blackstone lets his skill
range from simple things like card
tricks and producing rabbits to a
near final point when he goes so
far to make himself disappear out
in plain view, turning up in the
costume of an assistant you think
