Duke Stern's "All Square Blendo" Magic Silks. Vintage item.. Condition is "Used". Shipped with USPS First Class.
Perhaps some of you remember "Duke" Stern who was a talented performer and beautiful human being. This trick is one of his creations. I used it hundreds if not thousands of times in the 1960's and '70's when I performed professionally. The large silk is about 35" square and is quite colorful. However....it is very heavily used. Also, the "gimmick" for the trip (a sma...ll fabric bag in the corner of the large silk, was removed and the silk repaired. The three smaller 18" silks are in much better condition.
So, you can use this as a Blendo only if you provide your own means of "dying the silks". Otherwise, it is a nice piece of magic history from the "golden era" of Abbott's. I've enclosed a description of the trick from their 1977 catalog.
Note that I have other magic and silk items on auction along with this one.
Please check out my feedback and then bid with confidence.

If you enlarge the photos you will see the thin spots along the border of the large silk. You can also see a patch on it a red corner. You can see that the yellow solid has an extensive this area. The blue and red solids are on better shape.
In general, there are a lot of imperfections, but on stage the silks look good. You need to supply your own means of “blending” the silks.. I hope this helps. If you see looking for perfection, you won’t find it at this price.
Thanks for the interest.
