| Salon de
Magie By Ken Klosterman,
with Gabe Fajuri
After over 30 years of collecting, Ken
Klosterman offers a rare look into what has made his collection,
The Salon de Magie, a legend within the inner circles of magic
and collecting.
Housed 83 feet beneath the surface of
the Earth in an abandoned mine, the Salon de Magie is home to
some of the finest pieces in the history of magic. Robert-Houdin,
Hofzinser, Herrmann, Kellar, Houdini, Germain, and dozens more
of the greatest magicians in history await you in this new book
from the Salon de Magie.
Read the biographies of the major
collectors in history and how parts of their collections came to
reside in the Salon de Magie. Then, take a virtual tour of
the museum, with detailed histories of over 100 of the finest
pieces in the collection. Each book also comes with a DVD
containing an interview with Ken Klosterman and a video tour of
the Salon de Magie.
The standard edition will be limited to
450 copies, each hardbound in imitation leather with 400 pages
and 286 photographs, most in full color.
The Collector's Edition will be limited
to 50 copies, each hand bound in fine leather with gilding on
the cover and page edges. Imbedded in the cover is Ken's
magic token, re-minted in solid silver. Finally, each copy
will be signed and numbered by Ken and the purchaser's name will
be gilded on the cover of his or her copy. |
