This is a spiral bound book with 108 pages. It contains magic that Stewart Judah created or liked. When he died he left a stack of 5 by 8 cards. Those cards were given to John Braun who typed them up into what are called the Stewart Judah notes. My copy came from Paul Swinford. It was a copy of a copy and hard to read. I retyped it and then with Ken Klosterman's blessing am offering it for sale to the magic fraternity. Much of this material has not been published anywhere else. People who know who Stewart Judah was will buy it. For example I have sold copies to Steve Freeman, Herb Zarrow, Samuel Randlett and many others. The notes come to you with a complete index and are $30 post paid. |

In his book The Stewart James in Print book there is a trick called Deckograph. Like most of Stewart James creations it is amazing. The effect is the magician shows a deck and a post-it-sticker. The post-it-sticker is laid to one side, the spectator chooses a card from a face up deck. The choice is free...NO FORCE. The chosen card is laid to one side, the post-it-sticker is attached to the back of the top card of the deck. The chosen card is laid on top of that and after some by play about the sticker vanishing when the chosen card is pulled over it, the chosen card is pulled up and there on the post-it-sticker, written in ink is the name of the chosen card. Note: the trick can be repeated with a different card. NO FORCE. Not that you should repeat it, but you can. I have made up the deck required to do the trick, sent to you with directions for $20 post paid. |

of Si Stebbins |
I bought a bunch of magic from a friend of mine's wife after he died. In his stuff I found a little booklet. It was sold by the Kanter Magic shop of Philadelphia back in the 1940's. It sold for one dollar. It is a one piece of paper booklet, fold the top down to the bottom and then the left over to the right and you have the booklet the size of one quarter of a piece of paper. I got some color copies made and I sell these (Post paid) for $4. The booklet is the magic of Si Stebbins. Even if you know all about Si Stebbins and his set up, the booklet is a wonderful collectors item. |

Autograph |
As you know Joseph Dunninger did not sign many autographs. But, he did sign a picture for my good friend Doctor David Hoy. After David died (more then 20 years ago) I got the original picture from Shirley. I sell a copy and it is laminated for $10 post paid. |

by Joe Robinson |
If you have any interest in playing cards as a collectible, here is a wonderful item. In 1955 Mrs. Joe Robinson put a book together. It has pictures and information about every one of the 81 different backs that were used by the Bicycle Division of The United States Playing Card Company. There were only 150 of the original books done. I bought mine from her in 1965. I sell a copy (very nicely done) of that booklet for $10 post paid. |

Acquiring Collecting Expertise |
There is an organization called 52 Plus Joker. It is a club for people who collect full decks. I was the secretary of that organization for several years. I once had an email newsletter that went out to anyone who requested it (FREE). I took the information from those newsletters and put them into a booklet. It is called ACE (Acquiring Collecting Expertise). If you know nothing about playing cards as a collectible, this booklet will get you started with valuable information about such things as: dating decks, identifying decks etc. This booklet is $12 post paid. |
