For Sale here:
1. The first lecture ever given by the "Literary Fellowship" winning Michael Weber took place in 1982 at a charming, lamented, one-day convention, formerly held in the small Northern California town of Penngrove.
Offered here: a true coup for Weber collectors and aficionados--"Michael Weber's Pengrove Connection" the virtually unobtainable notes from that day which include a number of his seminal, signature routines such as "Off the Deep End" (his ring and spoon penetration), "Return on the Big Bands" (the linking rubber band technique that started the legend--BEFORE it appeared in "Richard's Almanac"), "$1,000 Ring On Stick", among others. Condition: very good.
$80.00 postage paid in the U.S.
2. Michael Weber's "Stamp Out Card Tricks"--also from the day of Mr. Weber's first-ever lecture, a prop and its attendant instruction sheet. Condition: (prop) like new; (instruction sheet) has some water damage and a small area of unrelated notes written on the otherwise blank back-side.
$30.00 postage paid in the U.S.
BOTH WEBER ITEMS TOGETHER FOR $105.00 postage paid in the U.S.!
3. "Frank Garcia Tells It All In A Nutshell", 1st Edition 1974--the legendary and much sought-after book by the man with the million dollar hands which, to this day is still considered by many as being the definitive treatment of the classic 3 shell game. A great book. Condition: The covers show some discoloration, and the spine is damaged, as shown in the photo. The interior is virtually like new.
$75.00 postage paid in the U.S.
4. The complete, full-color front page of the comics section for "The Washington (DC) Sunday Star" dated October 10, 1926 with a 12-panel "Mutt & Jeff" cartoon featuring Jeff agreeing over the phone to sell Houdini the rights to a trick he invented--3 weeks to the day before Houdini died! Page measures 16"x22", the image measures 15"x20 1/2"
The colors are crisp and bright--the outside edges of the sheet show typical aging for an 85+ year-old newspaper, but there are no creases, and even the central fold is almost undetectable. A real gem, perfect for framing, to say the least. (Condition: very good.) $300.00 postage paid in the U.S.
5. "Magic for Professionals" by Jason Randal. First Edition 1982, plastic comb-bound. Condition: very good. $100.00, postage paid in U.S.

11. "Psychological Subtleties" by Banacheck; 2nd edition, 2000. Condition: very good. $25, postage paid in the U.S.
