Martinka & Co.'s 9th online auction of vintage and modern magic is now underway. There are over 200 items listed and it is their best selection so far.

You'll find the auction at: www.martinka.com

A few of the highlights include:
* Jarrett's Magic - The second published copy
* Alexander Martell Poster - The only one known to exist
* Okito Poster - Gorgeous color on this vintage stone litho
* Helmann, Cortes, and other interesting vintage posters
* Thurston's Perfect Breather - A very rare and strange item
* A book from Thurston's personal library
* An original Kellar poster from 1894

There's also a good variety of apparatus, some collectible and some performable items that have not been available for years. You'll find items made by Thayer, P&L, Martinka, Anverdi, Merv Taylor, Milson Worth and others.

The ephemera section lists dozens of cards, photos, programs from magicians of the past. Many items are from the Martinka files.

And there are some new books, videos and DVDs all starting far below wholesale.  All 8 volumes of Daryl's Encyclopedia of Card Magic retail for $240 and may go to a lucky buyer for less than $20.

Most of the auctions start at $9.99 and without a reserve so there should be some bargains at the end.
