Reynolds, Charles. Harry Blackstone, Sr. Colon Michigan, August 1961. Bust portrait of the famous magician, in white tie and tails. 10 ¼ x 12 ½”. These images of Blackstone were captured at the 1961 Abbott’s Magic Get-Together in Colon, Michigan. Blackstone called the tiny town of Colon his home for over two decades, but did not attend or perform at the annual magic convention held there until 1961, the year after the death of his former partner and the founder of the Magic Get-Together, Percy Abbott, died. Blackstone received a hero’s welcome and national news coverage, for his homecoming.
