This would look great framed on your wall!  I am a big fan of magic collectibles, ever since I got my first package from David Price's Egyptian Hall Museum back in the 1970s.  This comes from my personal collection.  I think magic history is interesting.  Magicians are some of the most fascinating people you will ever meet.  I like Magic Biography so much that I even created a website to honor distinguished magicians in magic history.  You might find it some day tripping across the internet.

Who am I?  I am the Curious Magician Michael Johnson.  I wrote the book "Playing Cards Autographed By Magicians: A Collector's Guide" that sells on Amazon.  I am one of the top professional Magicians in El Cajon and San Diego County.  I have a massive library of memorabilia.  Now I'm selling off my stuff to pursue new adventures.  Check out my store.  Maybe you'll find something that interests you!  Thanks for taking a moment to read my listing.
