This month we start a new feature called Show and Tell. Members are invited to bring a magic related "collection" to a meeting. Tables will be set up in the back of the room for the member to set up their collection. During the Jam and Socialize time at the end of our meeting, stand near your table and share your collection with members as they mill around. No prior arrangements are needed. Just bring your collection to a meeting. Note, if the meeting time is scheduled for a lecture or competition, Show and Tell will not be held.
This month's Show and Tell was Dan Jones' Harry Blackstone Jr. collection. The collection includes...
- A tee shirt from the Blackstone 100th Anniversary Tour in 1992
- A tour program book and show program from Detroit's Music Hall Center circa 1982
- A large photo taken on the street in Colon, MI during Abbott's Get Together in 1982
- A Bally's $5 poker chop featuring Blackstone Jr.
- A small photo is of Dan Jones on stage with Blackstone Jr. at the George Burns Theatre in Livonia, MI.
- To the right of the photo is Dan's handkerchief which he borrowed, made to dance and signed for him after the show.
Very cool Dan, thanks for sharing.
