Who came up with this idea? A woman's disembodied head floating over a serving tray in an ad for Gillette razors. I'm confused. I'm bafffled. I'm surprised. It's magical. It's creepy.
Anyone able to translate the characters on the tray? Are these the woman's last words?
Okay, the fellow is Harry Blackstone, Sr., famous magician.
Harry Blackstone (September 27, 1885 – November 16, 1965) was a famed stage magician and illusionist of the 20th century.
