Items to be Offered at Magic Castle Swap Meet

Postby Joe S. » April 16th, 2022, 1:48 pm

Hello,

I will be offering many fine items from my magic collection at the Magic Castle Swap Meet being held on April 23, 2022. This posting is to let people know about a portion of the items to be offered, including books, tricks, props, videos, memorabilia, and grab bags. The list below includes just some of those items for your information. Many other tricks, props, and videos will be offered. My tables will be located in my usual spot right next to the Magic Castle library door.

The Swap Meet asking prices for all items will be very low. My desire is to transfer these items into the possession of new owners, including magicians, magic enthusiasts, and magic collectors. Please stop by my tables to inspect the offered items and view the quite low asking prices!

For potential purchasers, please note that I’m only able to accept cash - - no checks, credit or debit cards, or PayPal. Sorry!

Thanks for viewing. I hope to see you at the Swap Meet!

Joe Srour

As a final reminder, I invite people who will be at the Magic Castle Swap Meet tomorrow to visit my table and view the many fine items being offered at bargain prices. My location will be across the room from the Library Bar and along the wall right next to the Castle Library entrance. Of potential interest are the premium grab bags being offered at $20 each. Each grab bag will contain 5 or 6 items consisting mainly of unused tricks and props. The total value of each grab bag is much greater than the asking price. First come, first served. See you there!

Joe
