Norm Nielsen collection 30 items with 7 autographs, magic magazines, clippings

Description

Norm Nielsen collection of about 30 items including seven autographs.  This amazing archive took me decades to put together.  I had a chance to see Norm perform magic at the IBM Convention in San Diego, and he was incredible.  It was like a dream come true, to see him levitate the violin.  But the thing that really blew me away was when he floated a piano. A frickin' piano!  Oh my gosh.  My brain freaked out in the most wonderful way.  I consider him to be one of the greatest Magicians who ever lived.  Here's your chance to get a super, once--in-a-lifetime collection from this fascinating Magician.  This includes:

These would look great in your magic library!  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 Sleight-of-hand Magicians in 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.
