Harry Bouton Blackstone (born Henry Boughton; September 27, 1885 – November 16, 1965) was a famed stage magician and illusionist of the 20th century.

Blackstone was in the model of courtly, elegant predecessor magicians like Howard Thurston and Harry Kellar, and the last of that breed in America.

He customarily wore white tie and tails when performing, and he traveled with large illusions and a sizable cast of uniformed male and female assistants.

[5] Blackstone remained silent during much of his big stage show, which was presented to the accompaniment of an organist or pit orchestra and such lively tunes of the time as "Who", "I Know That You Know", and "Chinatown".

[6] In another illusion, a woman stepped into a cabinet in front of many bright, clear, tubular incandescent light bulbs.

Then a female assistant was placed on the saw table in full view, as wide metal restraints were clamped upon her midsection.

[8] Among his lovelier effects was "The Enchanted Garden", in which countless bouquets of brilliant feather flowers appeared from under a foulard and on tables and stands until the stage was a riot of color.

Called Abbott's Magic Novelty Company, the enterprise shipped simple, inexpensive tricks (with mimeographed instructions) to young boys and professional magicians over the world, while also building large illusions.

[12] In the comic, Blackstone traveled the world, performing amazing feats of magic and battling exotic villains.

Stoner created a short-lived comics series, Blackstone, Master Magician, for Vital Publications.

He was interred close to his former home in Colon, Michigan, where the main street was renamed Blackstone Avenue in his honor.
