It was a thrilling series that captivated its audience with the adventures of Blackstone, a magician who used his skills to solve mysteries and battle criminals. The character of Blackstone was based on Harry Blackstone, Sr., a real-life magician who was among the most celebrated stage magicians of the 20th century.

The format of the show was quite engaging. Each episode typically began with Blackstone and his assistant, Rhoda, often joined by John, encountering a mystery or being challenged by a situation that required a clever solution. Blackstone would then use his knowledge of magic and illusions to unravel the mystery, often revealing the method behind the magic trick related to the episode's plot as part of the resolution. This not only provided a satisfying conclusion to the story but also educated the audience on how certain magic tricks were performed.
