I've been waiting years to see live footage of Harry Blackstone, Sr. for years, and really appreciated the hard work Andrew Martin put into presenting and sharing the footage he has. While looking at that film, I also found another on Youtube. This one has Harry Blackstone, Sr. performing "The Afghan Bands"; it seems to be from a documentary called "Heroes of Magic" and also features Ali Bongo and others. But the Blackstone part is after a brief intro.

The full routine can be found on Blackstone Remembered. This was put out as a VHS tape, I believe a few places still have copies. Steven's magic was closing them out a while back may still have a few copies. That video has Uncle Harry doing quite a few of his routines and Illusions

Oooh - I've heard of that, and I'll have to locate a copy. I've just been inspired to do the Bands after both seeing that and reading the Greater Magic handling (now there's a treasure of a book!). I've been aware of the Bands and the general Moebius stuff since I was a kid, but seeing the Santa Claus routine drove home how fun this could play.

Thanks for sharing...

Is it possible to get a copy of it?
