Michael Colley’s gift to attendees at the John Salisse Luncheon Club on 23 December 2024

This was a gift and worthy of note because the contents were chosen to appeal to people with an interest in magic and magic history. Michael has become well-known for indexing many magic magazines, and the flash drive included his up-to-date activities in this area. Other items were a disentanglement puzzle described in the magazine Abracadabra from 16 July 1960, a simple magic trick in a matchbox from the Gay Deceiver Magic Series, and a pop-up card which brought to life an optical illusion designed by Professor Kokichi Sugihara.
