Sorting through some of my odds and sods last night and came across the below cover and thought "Magic" what a great topic for a thematic collection





Does anyone else have "Magic" themed items?

A real piece of interesting magic appeared on
a stamp from Aitutaki,
It shows an engraving by Albrecht Durer
it shows the amazing "magic square" (just above the angel's wing)

All numbers no matter which way add up to 34

The date of the creation is shown in the bottom squares (1514)

I dabbled in magic when I was in high school, got called over the tannoy to go to the principal's office (Never a good thing). Teachers were complaining that I was not focusing on my work but doing magic tricks instead. He called me in not to give me a stern word but to show him some tricks!

Got to see David Copperfield live in South Africa.
