Winter Magic Auction • December 12
Our winter sale features apparatus and relics from the workshops and showroom of Owen Magic Supreme. Tracing its beginnings to the days of Floyd Thayer, Owen Magic maintained an impeccably high standard of quality and innovation in the construction of magic apparatus and illusions, for every major performer in the industry.
Ante Up: Gambling Memorabilia
In our first auction of the new year, we present casino chips, poker sets, and gambling memorabilia from the collection of the late Robert Eisenstadt.
Vintage Posters, Prints & Works on Paper
Our November sale featured hundreds of vintage posters, with a heavy focus on vintage travel posters, but also included highlights in the following categories: entertainment and music, circus, war and propaganda, sports, and film.
Select Secrets • Rare & Important Magicana
Our first magic auction of 2021 will be the first of its kind for Potter & Potter: a closely-curated selection of rare and important magicana. Just over 100 lots will go on the block, but what the auction will lack in quantity it will more than make up for in quality. Unique Houdini memorabilia, exceptional stone lithographs, unusual apparatus and historically significant association items will all be part of the sale.
