Back in the 1960's many dime store candy counters carried a box of Blackstone Bubble Gum with a free trick inside every packet, ranging from the Phantom Cards to Card to Match Box. Does anyone know what a complete set of the tricks would consist of? (I don't have any of the tricks still; just curious. Must be going through my third childhood.)

Blackstone and Blackstone Jr. always took advantage of promotions like this. I remember Jr. doing a promo for Jiffy Pop. I bet those things would be great collector items if one can get their hands on it.

If anyone has a set of these... in the display box... please PM me, if you'd like to sell them!
Thanks! Doug |

It would be cool to find some of this stuff. Blackstone Jr is probably my favorite magician. I got a chance to meet him aftr a show when I was a young teen.
I still perform in his classical style for some of my stuff...although I am updating a little bit. I even perform in a tux AND do the Blackstone version of the dancing hanky. Haven't been to visit his grave site yet...but that is on my "to-do" list.
