This comes from my personal collection. My name is
Magician Michael Johnson, one of the top Entertainers in San Diego County.
I am a Curious Magician. 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 largest collections of contemporary magic collectibles
and posters in the world. Now I'm selling off my collection to finance
new adventures. Maybe you'll find something you like? There's
nothing like good magic memorabilia to stimulate the imagination.
If you want to become a Magician, I recommend joining a good
magic club. I've been a member of the Society of American Magicians more
than 35 years, a member of the International Brotherhood of Magicians more than
25 years, and a Magician member of the Academy of Magical Arts more than 15
years. And lately I've been thinking about joining the Magic Circle, too, if they'll have me. Each club has advantages. You can have a lot of fun in the
magical arts!
Thanks for taking a moment to read my listing. Have a great day. Be safe!
Be happy!
