Many fans consider July 31 Harry Potter’s birthday, probably because it is the birthday of his creator JK Rowling… what Harry’s driver’s license says we really don’t know.

I have probably mentioned this before, but Harry Blackstone Jr. was a huge influence on me as a very, very young magician. Harry Anderson was an idol as I grew up, but it was Harry Blackstone Jr. and that incredible voice that I first remember seeing performing magic on television… before Copperfield, Henning or even Mark Wilson (although I remember watching them all and dreaming of the day I would have a stage show of big, colorful boxes that warped reality and and army of showgirls and tigers). So today, simply because it is my birthday and this is the one act of public self indulgence I will allow myself (although I am going to try really, really hard to get by Owen Magic Supreme but that is more of a crime of opportunity) I present you with Harry Blackstone Jr. performing on the 1979 MDA Telethon. A seven year old me probably sat through hours of telethon waiting to see this!
