'09 Auction Catalog LESLIE C. SMITH Owen Magic Supreme SIGNED x Gertrude & Alan

Description

77 page softcover catalog of a portion of LES SMITH's magic collection auctioned in 2009.  Brand new/old stock.  Each copy is signed and numbered by GERTRUDE SMITH and ALAN ZAGORSKY.
Illustrated throughout with color photos (except for a few b&w historical photos.)  Includes a three page biography and introduction by Les' granddaughter ALEXIA with quotes from some of Les' friends.
Since the 1960s, Les Smith was the owner of OWEN MAGIC SUPREME up until the time of his passing.  This catalog offered some of the items released by Owen Magic  during his tenure that appealed to Les as well as selected items from Thayer, Merv Taylor, P&L, Loyd and other manufacturers along with highlights from his large magic book collection.
A representative copy of the catalog is seen in the photos.  You will receive a brand new copy from the remaining supply obtained by us from Owen Magic Supreme. Sorry, no choice of limitation number.
A great reference and memento for the magic book collector, apparatus collector and Thayer/Owen fan.
