Hank Keene's Magic Picture

nobody@ipernity.com (Alan Mays) — Thu, 16 Oct 2014 21:16:44 +0000

A novelty advertising card for country musician Hank Keene's radio show that gives instructions for experiencing an afterimage of Keene's silhouette.

Magic Picture - Hank Keene

Keep your eyes on the white spots on the face and count slowly up to fifty. Then turn away from the picture and look at one spot on the ceiling. The picture will then appear before your eyes on the ceiling. If you keep your eyes on one spot on the ceiling the picture will appear and disappear several times.

Amuse your friends by showing them this magic picture.

Tune in on Hank Keene and his Radio Gang on station WHAS, Louisville, Kentucky, every morning except Sunday from 6:00 to 6:30 Central Standard Time.

Lasting Impressions

Stare at this flag, dear friend,
Then look away,
The image still stands by you.
If next Sunday, you'll attend
Our Rally Day,
Like impressions will then ensue.

Directions. Take card in both hands, look steadily at small diamond shaped speck on flag, try not to blink, and count to 40 slow, then look up at sky or a light wall and picture will appear greatly enlarged. Keep looking at one spot for 10 seconds. Result--the actual picture will appear and disappear several times.

An "Ugly" Postcard from Amanda Ench

Handwritten on the back of this real photo postcard: "Mrs. Mace, you said when we were over [that] you only get ugly post cards, and I said I have a few I will send you, and now here they are, from your friend, Amanda Ench."

Although Amanda Ench jokes about her "ugly" postcard, I think that she has a pleasant, dignified look with sparkling eyes and a wry expression that hints at her self-deprecating sense of humor.
