Hey everyone. I have a pretty large collection of bizarre/storytelling magic props that I’m looking to sell. My wife and I are going to be traveling around quite a bit now that our youngest child is off to college. I don’t want to put these great props into storage and would rather see them go to other performers or collectors. The biggest challenge I have is that I live in Cape Town and props have to be sent by FedEx which means the shipping cost is pretty hefty. Moving the lot as a collection is probably going to be the most cost effective.
I’d be grateful for any ideas, comments or referrals as to how I’d go about this.
Some of the props appear in my repository here but there are many more…

This is a free resource for bizarre magicians and storytelling performers. We've detailed some of our collection along with some reviews.
