Great LeVante Handbill

Sanders The Great — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 21:44:59 +0000

This weeks magical collectors tip is a handbill from the estate of John Mulholland.

It dates from 1939 and lists, amongst others, Jean Hugard and The Great LeVante & Co. Also listed is one Li Ching Soo: presumably yet another Chung Ling Soo impersonator.

It’s an interesting bit of magical ephemera for sale at a reasonable price.

The Great Levante’s Kettle and Chung Ling Soo’s Bowl

Sanders The Great — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 19:15:15 +0000

It has come to my attention that there are two interesting and important pieces of magical paraphernalia currently for sale on eBay.

The first is Kettle used by the great levanteThe item description states was given away in one of his stage performances.

The other item is a bowl used by the great Chung Ling Soo and bought by the seller from a magic circle auction.

I’m afraid I can’t vouch for the seller so as always it’s buyer beware but they surely have to be worth a punt.

Exclusive Magical Secrets First Edition For Sale

Sanders The Great — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 22:50:35 +0000

There is a first edition of Will Goldston’s famous book Exclusive Magical Secrets for sale on ebay
. This is number 755 of 1000 and is in fantastic condition.

I am fortunate enough to own a copy (number 252 originally owned by Bennett Scott) otherwise I’d be bidding myself. This is a rare opportunity to purchase a piece of magical history. I don’t make a habit of plugging other peoples auctions, but this is a rare find and deserves to be once again owned by a member of the magical set.
