Mar. 1994; review of his trick “Jumbo Coincidence”; 2 pages
This 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 wrote the book "Playing Cards Autographed By Magicians: A Collector's Guide" that sells on Amazon. I am one of the top Magic Teachers in Mission Valley 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.
