    According to an internet search on Magic Biography, Chuck Jones is a world touring illusionist and television consultant; he appeared on the cover of the newspaper “Gypsy Trader” April/May 1995.  I’ve seen him perform several times, at the Magic Castle in Hollywood and during the “It’s Magic” tour in Escondido, California.  His show is always fabulous.  He has a lot of stage charisma.  I’ve talked with him and his wife Jan in-person, and they’re really nice people.
    This comes from my personal collection.  My name is Magician Michael Johnson, one of the most popular 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 largest collections of contemporary magic collectibles and posters in the world.  Now I'm selling off my collection to finance new adventures.  Maybe you'll find something you like?  There's nothing like a good magic collectibles 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.  Yes, you might say I enjoy the magical arts!
