Approx: 5" x 3" In very good + to near fine condition. Gary Darwin (1935–2019) was a legendary American magician, author, and dedicated collector who left a lasting impact on the magic community, especially in Las Vegas. Originally from New Mexico, Darwin moved to Las Vegas in the 1950s and quickly became a prominent figure in its magic scene. In 1965, he founded the Las Vegas Magic Club, a thriving community hub where magicians could meet, collaborate, and share their craft. Darwin was known for his remarkable collection of magic memorabilia, props, and literature, much of which he housed in his own museum-like home, offering a fascinating glimpse into the history of magic. As an author, Darwin produced several influential books, including Darwin’s 101 Thumbtip Tricks, which became essential for magicians specializing in sleight-of-hand. Even after facing health challenges later in life, Darwin’s resilience and passion for magic never waned. His contributions to magic—as a performer, educator, and community organizer—remain a treasured part of his enduring legacy.
