This comes from my personal collection.  I'm selling off my posters to create new adventures.  My name is Magician Michael Johnson, one of the best Magicians in San Diego County.  I enjoy collecting magic memorabilia; it inspires me in my career.  I've been a Magician most of my life.  I wrote a book titled "Playing Cards Autographed By Magicians: A Collector's Guide" that is available on Amazon.  Over the years, I have accumulated one of the finest collections of contemporary magic posters in the world.  Maybe you'll find something you like?  There's nothing like a good magic poster to stimulate the imagination.
If you want to become a Magician, I recommend joining a good magic club.  I've been a member of the Society of American Magicians more than 30 years, a member of the International Brotherhood of Magicians more than 20 years, and a Magician member of the Academy of Magical Arts more than 10 years.  Each club has advantages.  Personally, I recommend joining all the clubs!
