Dorny's Comedy Blackouts
, by Werner Dornfield
©1962 Ireland Magic Company, Chicago, IL
Softcover, saddle-stitched, 5.5x8.5", 64 pages
From the introduction, "This is a collection of various comedy "Blackouts" for the use of magicians and others who wish to add variety and spice to their acts, programs or shows. Timing is an important factor in a blackout, so even tho they may be short, they should be well rehearsed. As the last word is said, the stage is plunged in darkness for an instant, then the next person or act comes on. If darkness cannot be obtained, then curtains are quickly drawn closed, or curtain dropped in front of performers to denote the end of the skit."
