But the hands of Blackstone the magician remains as supple and steady as when they bafl'lec audiences from coast to coast.

At 78, Harry Blackstone live? in Hollywood and still keeps in touch with his magical art. I'm not he cracks. tired," Blackstone is the sole survivor of the great era of American magic that also produced such names as Houdini, Keller and Thurston. All mounted big shows that played theaters and vaudeville houses in the first few decades of this century. Blackstone was the last to leave the field.

I quit eight years ago," he said. "I lost $35.000 one year, $60,000 the next and $90,000 the next. I just couldn't buck television. People didn't want to pay $5.50 a seat to watch magic when they could stay at home for nothing and watch television and drink beer." His 200 major tricks were put nto storage in Hollywood, New York City, Philadelphia, York, and his longtime home at Mich. Many are major productions; he figures his girl-in-levitation stunt cost $17,008 to conceive.

Of late he has been selling the Ticks to professional and amateur famous Hollywood figure has bought several. Blackstone timed those tricks the split-second and cherished each one, yet he parts with them without regret. He looks cheerfully back on a life and career that were full and gratifying. He was infected with the magic virus in 1898, when he saw a performance of the great Keller in Chicago. The boy sneaked out his bedroom window to see the show again and his return was discovered by his father.

When young Harry confessed where he had gone, his father said, "Why didn't you tell me? I'd have gone with you." Father and son saw the show every night for a week, and tfarry met Keller backstage. The trouper's advice on how to be a magician: "By using that part or your anatomy from your up." Blackstone began in amateur then was able to leave his steel foundry job for his first professional date: playing a St hotel with a brand-new movie, "The Great Train Robbery." In his prime he traveled with a troupe of 37 and earned as much as $45,600 a day during a Norfolk date in the 1920s. He lives with his cheery wife in a Hollywood apartment containing mementoes of his past. He often appears at the nearby Magic Castle, club for magic men and their guests, and will make appearances "for anyone foolish enough to hire me."
