Somewhere along the way my parents gave me a Give-A-Show Projector by Kenner. I don't remember having much to watch with it. The only thing I had was a bunch of Fred Flintstone slides for it. The unit basically consisted of a light bulb and an adjustable lens. The color slides were sandwiched between a strip of cardboard. It wasn't a bad little toy. All you had to do was slide the slide panel through a slot and voila' instant entertainment on a wall.

I had to invent my own Give-A-Show.
You aren't going to believe this, but I would take my view-master slide's and shine a flashlight through them. Using a magnifying glass, I postioned it in front of the slide so that it would magnify the picture on the wall. It wasn't as good as a give-a-show, but hey....I was a poor white kid living on a sharecropper plot of earth.

Hey, you may not be aware of this, but I've started a Give-A-Show blog, with daily postings of Give-A-Show slides, checklists, photos of similar products, or any of other related items. It's at http://giveashow.blogspot.com -- check it out sometime!
