- Lot Description
Blackstone, Harry (Henry Boughton). Archive of Harry Blackstone’s Correspondence from Magicians. Over 100 pages, with fascinating content, mailed by unknown and well-known magicians to Blackstone between 1925 and 1945. Included are missives from George Marquis and Bill Chaudet (both considered possible successors to Blackstone), Arthur Felsman, Laurie Ireland, Bob Sherman, and Horace Marshall (the latter’s letters dealing principally with the flower tricks he is building for Blackstone, and giving great detail on their construction, some with invoices), Guy Stanley, John Grdina, Thomas Chew Worthington, Brindamour (offering to sell Blackstone various illusions and his Spanish Cell, and including a detailed price list), Henry Ridgley Evans, W.W. Durbin (before his falling-out with Blackstone and the formation of the I.M.C.), Gladys Hardeen, C. Thomas Magrum (applying for a position as an assistant on the show; one of several letters of this nature included), Sid Lorraine (detailing the construction of a trick for the Blackstone show, with line drawings), George Boston, Bud Tracy, Frank Fewins, and others. Many on pictorial letterheads; several telegrams included. A revealing, informative archive of magical gossip, secrets, and details.
