...When i was a kid and thought Magic was "real" these types of shows had more of an impact on you...now that im an adult and i know its all just fancy tricks its not as entertaining...its like watching the making of Star Wars before you watch the movie, it loses it "wow' factor...but still these guys are very talented...
I was fortunate to meet Harry back in the late 70s. I am a magicain and have performed well over 30 years. We met after his performance in Chicago and all we talked about was his birth of his grand child. We were in awe of meeting him and after spending hours with him we realized he was a true family man. His father was one of the greats, next to Houdini, he was up there with him. This is where the true magic began and JR carried it on greatly.

He was a good man.

Beyond the beauty of this illusion, I wish that I could write such music in the style of Albert Ketèlbey.
I still have a ticket to see Harry Blackstone, Jr., a performance which was canceled by his untimely death.

Except that this music was composed by Alan Menken...
