Daryl Martinez collection 30 items with autographs, magic magazines, clippings

Description

Daryl collection of 30 items including an early business card, four autographs, a magic magazine with him on the cover and his tricks revealed, clippings, and caricatures of him detached from books.  I've seen Daryl perform, and he was incredible!  I think he was one of the best Magicians in the World.  I even saw him just a few days before he passed away, walking along the hallway of the Magic Castle that was near the Parlour of Prestidigitation, his final stage.  It is spooky to think about today. Here's your chance to get a sweet collection on this fascinating Magician.  This took me decades to put together.

These would look great framed on your wall!  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 professional Magicians in Fairbanks Ranch 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.
