A "Blackout" is a quick bit of stage business, usually verbal, that ends in a snappy punch line on which (if possible) the lights go out. Blackouts are great for magicians and othe r variety acts. They add a bit of novelty and spice to shows, fill time between acts, rarely require more than a few simple props, and can stall for time while the backstage crew handles transitions or fixes mistakes. Written by famed and beloved comedy magician Werner "Dorny" Dornfeld (1892-1982,) the Blackouts in this book are among the first ever published and are all audience tested, guaranteed laughs. For school work or adults. Show more
