Hi Everyone,

In the Holidays illusions book it refers to the Home for the Holidays book as "A Classic Blackstone Method of Instant Holiday Scene." What would the Blackstone illusion have been?

Thanks!

Are you asking what the classic Bridal Chamber Illusion is? If so, it is the near instant production of a complete room on an isolated, empty platform.

Wow! What a great picture. Thank you Frank. I appreciate the reply. That has to be the one being referenced.

It is a very cool illusion. That is Blackstone's original set for it. But as Paul writes: "This idea takes its cue from Harry Blackstone, Sr. who used to change out his basic Bridal Chamber Illusion to suit the times. He would redecorate it from the classic bridal decor to a pin-up's bedroom complete with pin-up girls for his CISO tours." I'm sure the soldiers appreciated it!
