The Lund Memorial Library is home to thousands of archival materials.
The American Museum of Magic will celebrate the enduring legacy of the Blackstone family and the profound impact the family has on shaping magic history. Museum founder Robert Lund used to host special afternoon celebrations on Sundays after the Abbott Magic Co.’s annual Get-Togethers in nearby Colon. We are thrilled to bring back this tradition with Gay Blackstone as the distinguished guest of honor. Noted magicians and historians will be on hand to conduct tours and presentations: Lance Burton, Mac King, Bill Smith and Mike Caveney.
Bill Smith will recount his recollections of his tenure on the Blackstone Jr. show. A panel discussion will be moderated by Mike Caveney, delving into Blackstone history. The event will culminate with a question-and-answer session with Gay Blackstone, who will share her personal anecdotes from the Harry Jr. show and the Blackstone family.
In the basement of the library, a recently discovered unmarked box has piqued the curiosity of the museum's board and staff. Tucked away for years, the contents of this mystery box will be unveiled by Mike Caveney and Bill Smith. Will it be the unveiling of a captivating illusion or a disappointing assortment of peanuts? To uncover the secrets contained within this box of mystery, join us for the Salute to Blackstone on Sunday, August 9, the day following the Get-Together.
