Subject: [CollectibleMagic] RE: estate collection Jurgensen is sale. Fred had collected a large variety of films, most related to magic. He has spliced together films with coming attractions, short subjects, cartoons, serials and movies. We would prefer to sell it as a collection. A list is available to serious inquiries. Not all films are magic related, there are some great finds in the collection.
