Find That Poster You've Been Looking For Here

As collectors we all eventually end up with duplicates or items that no longer fit our collecting vision. Below you will find several items that may be of interest to you.

A note about shipping: Shipping is extra for all items.  As a collector I am always concerned until the new addition to my collection is in my hands.  I have had "treasures" damaged in shipping.  See my Traveling Magician for one example. All shipping is via insured USPS Priority Mail or UPS depending on the item.  I only ship CONUS.  I apologize if in some cases, this results in high shipping costs, but my goal is to get your new treasure to you in the same condition as it was in my collection.

If you are interested in purchasing one of the items shown below please contact me here and provide details about what you are interested in purchasing.

I will be posting more items for sale including magic sets, etc. that I have, but since some supplies are limited…

The Magical Life of Marshall Brodien – Signed $90

Mint condition - never read.  Marshall only signed his books at 3 book signings.  The last one was in 2013 at an event that I put together.  This book was signed at that event.  The book is a fun and entertaining read and it is even better to have it signed by Marshall himself.

Marionette from Marshall Brodien’s personal museum $225

This Marionette was one of Marshall's favorites and hung in the magic set room of his personal museum.  Approximately 36" tall x 19" wide.

John Calvert Memorabilia

I am helping Tammy Calvert sell these items

John Calvert Magic Press Book – $350

Only 1 copy for sale.  Although it says there were 50 copies, Roger Dryer (the publisher) has informed me that 10 copies were lost, so there are only 40 that were sold, making it even more rare.  There were no other editions available (only the limited edition deluxe collectors book).

John Calvert 101st Birthday Hand Print – $100

Black with White hand:  # 29

White with Black hand: #16 and 20

Black with Gold hand:  #54 and 65

White with Gold Hand Print:  # 61, 66, 75, 81 and 82

To commemorate John Calvert's 101st Birthday a total of 101 hand prints were made.  There were 50 white and 51 black backgrounds.  The hand print colors were done in groups as John would do a few, take a break and then do some more.  There were only 101 total hand prints made.  They are signed by John Calvert.  The numbers left are shown below each hand print image above.  May request a listed number or I will just select and ship one.   11" x 17"

These look great framed.  Shown below is my personal copy that I framed.  (it is not available for sale, but I can provide information on the place I ordered the frame from)

John Calvert 100th Birthday Commemorative Copper Token – $25

I have 6 of these available.  To commemorate John's 100th birthday, 1000 of these Token's were made.  They were designed by Tammy Calvert and the case is a himber wallet, so the coin can be shown to vanish or appear.  If you order 2 or more, you will pay only $20 each.  They are about silver dollar sized.  In talking to Roger Dryer, these were not sold, but were given away at John's 100th birthday celebration that he put on for John.
