"Some of the amazing magic collectables, autographs and selfies that I have gained recently".
Richard Kaufman - Tenyo-ism
​
This is an extremely rare standard edition of the two set volumes of Tenyo-ism by Richard Kaufman. 1000 first editions, 900 sold as standard editions and then another 100 as deluxe editions with lots of extras.
​
Originally sold for 250US$ plus shipping and now exchanging for a lot more as very collectable. I do love Tenyo and while I have no intention of collecting the entire series of releases, these books will act as a good source of reference documenting releases until 2015.
​
This edition is in near enough in perfect condition and is a great addition to my collection. I will make sure in future that I don't miss out on some of the Kaufman books and buy when still available.

Pete Firman Signed Playing Card
​
While I already have a Pete Firman signature in my collection, it was part of a mounted photo. Therefore, hard to know at times if genuine but believe it is.
​
When going to see Pete perform live at the Y Theatre in Leicester, they approached me asking if I would promote the gig. With a new contact at the theatre, I made arrangements to get a note to Pete in his dressing room asking for a signed playing card.
​
Thankfully Pete obliged. Glad I wrote the note as would not have achieved the signed playing card otherwise as no meet and greet. Hopefully I can get a selfie next time.

Oliver Tabor Signed Playing Card
​
Oliver is a well known stage magician, ex President of The IBM British Ring No 25 and a FISM champion of stage magic.
Known for not only stage, but close up including his classic bubble and dove effects.
​
I gained this signed card at a lecture that Oliver was giving. A brilliant lecture and of course, I grabbed the opportunity to get a signed playing card as well.
​
And if you can get a chance to see this lecture, I highly recommend.
