Hello Folks - I have launched a site selling vintage books and playing cards, plus a small selection of new items, at: http://www.herbsmagic.com. All vintage items are 10% off over the next few days, through July 22. Use code: launch10. There's also a link to a new blog covering magic in New York, featuring original videos, articles, photos, etc. Several notable magicians are featured so far.
I'm listing a few of the items here, but much more is listed at the site and there are photos of each item. I'll be adding stuff there frequently, so please check back from time to time. Feel free to email me directly: herb@herbsmagic.com, or order through the web site. Shipping is additional.
