The highlight, in my opinion is a signed caricature detached from the book "Magic Autograph Poster Gallery" by Gary Darwin, 1989, published and distributed by Harris Printers from Las Vegas, Nevada.  This is a single page printed on both sides, size 8 1/4" x 10 7/8" approximately.  There is some yellowing to the paper.  The condition is good but used, with an irregular edge on one side from being cut out of the book.  The page is signed in blue ink pen and dated 1995.  He has also inscribed the caricature to "Sam."

These would look great in your magic library!  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 am one of the top professional Magicians in Indio and Riverside 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.
