Alice Through the Looking Glass as performed by Harry Blackstone, Jr
Alice Through the Looking Glass as performed by Harry Blackstone, Jr., not Sr., and described by Gay Blackstone and others.  A large sheet of glass framed in wood is shown to the audience. Two small window frames with curtains attached are placed in front and back of the glass. A volunteer is placed on a board on top of a black table. The Magicain gives a push, and the person and the board go through the glass to a table on the opposite side of the glass.  Upon examination, the window shows no openings. The frame measures approximately 48" x 72", and the two small windows measure 12" x 12". The illusions comes with two Blackstone travel cases which measure appx. 78" x 68" x 10" and 76" x 55" x 13" respectively. This illusion was used in the 1930's by Blackstone, Sr. We have a copy (DVD) of it being performed on National TV by Blackstone, Jr. with Katie Couric .
