Andre Kole Mega Magician collection of 45+ different items from his amazing magic career, with autographs, magazines, posters, a book, clippings, a ticket, a mint and unopened magic kit, and other goodies. This
is an amazing assortment of memorabilia from one of the best magicians
who ever lived; conditions vary from fair to good. It took me decades to get this collection put
together. At least one item once belonged to Sid Lorraine, and a few other posters have stickers from David Price's Egyptian Hall Museum. I hope the high price scares you away from buying it, because this is really fun to own. This rare collection is ideal for a museum, an archive, or a library. To sweeten the deal, I'll ship this for free domestically. For international customers, I will only charge you a dollar for shipping. Like magic! This includes:

This comes from my personal collection. My name is Magician Michael Johnson, one of the best Magicians in San Diego County. I enjoy collecting magic memorabilia; it inspires me in my career. I've been a Magician most of my life. I wrote a book titled "Playing Cards Autographed By Magicians: A Collector's Guide" that is available on Amazon. Over the years, I have accumulated one of the finest collections of contemporary magic posters in the world. Maybe you'll find something you like? There's nothing like a good magic poster to stimulate the imagination.
Once I got to see Andre Kole perform. He even picked me as a volunteer for the Spirit Chamber. That sure was exciting, to be on his stage and be part of his show. I met him after the show and he was super nice, in-person. For me, that was the experience of a lifetime!
