Who we are This website is brought to you by Ken Trombly, a lifelong magic enthusiast and longtime magic collector. Ken has been performing magic since the age of 10 - and has been a serious collector of magic posters and related items for at least the last couple of decades, when he began collecting original magic posters from the "Golden Age of Magic." Ken has shared his knowledge of magic posters with the Magic Collectors Association, lecturing at their 1995 and 2000 conventions, and has given his slide show poster presentation to other magic clubs as well. He has written articles on magic posters and collecting that have been published in Paper Collectors Marketplace, Collectors Showcase, MUM and MAGIC magazines; and he authored the chapter on magic posters in the Poster Identification and Price Guide, 2nd ed. (1994, Tony Fusco, editor). Ken has been hired to appraise poster collections, and is available for that and related consulting services.
