Michael Close’s Magic Collection Auction – Sunday, July 20, 2025

I’ve spent a lifetime gathering the finest tools of astonishment; books, apparatus, manuscripts, and enough lecture notes to keep any thinking magician happily puzzled for decades. Now it’s time to let these treasures find new hands and new homes.

I will be auctioning off a portion my personal magic collection at the Browser’s Den of Magic in Toronto on Sunday, July 20, 2025. The event begins at 1 PM (Eastern).

2900 Steeles Ave East (Inside the Market)
Toronto, Ontario

This isn’t a yard sale of worn-out props and library magic books. You’ll find first editions, out-of-print gems, rare lecture notes, props, tricks, and so much more.

Highlights include:

• Books and manuscripts you simply won’t see again.
• High-quality props.
• Vintage magic ephemera and hard-to-find lecture material.

If you’re serious about the art, or just looking to pick up a piece of magic history, this is a rare opportunity.
