In June we mentioned that Michael Close will be auctioning some of his collection at The Browser's Den of Magic later this month.
Here are some updates from Michael's website:
This isn’t a yard sale of worn-out props and library magic books. You’ll find first editions, out-of-print gems, rare lecture notes, props, tricks, and so much more.
Highlights include:
- Books and manuscripts you simply won’t see again.
- High-quality props.
- Vintage magic ephemera and hard-to-find lecture material.
Come for the chance to own something that inspired me. Stay for the stories, magic, and camaraderie. I hope these items bring you the same joy they brought me.
Read more.
To see some of the items for auction and for sale, download the PDFs from Michael's website.
