If you are of an age, (by which I mean about 45 years or older), then you no doubt have fond memories of going to the magic store in the 1970's and 1980's, and looking at all the amazing colorful boxes and tubes produced by Mak Magic in its heyday.   Mak Magic was started by U.F. Grant, who was also a name that was inescapable in those decades (and a few preceeding them).   Grant created (probably) more magic effects and methods than anyone else in magic history.

Grant passed away in 1978, and so for a 30th anniversary of his death, Mak Magic produced a boxed collector's set of UF Grant material.  Only 100 of these limited edition sets were made, and each set contained a 3-DVD set of archival Grant footage, a compendium book of many Grant publications, a poster, and this 8x10inch wood portrait of UF Grant enjoying a cigar.

The sets were quite expensive at issue -- $199 suggested retail, and they are now very hard to find anywhere.   And they are no longer available from MAK -- I know, because I bought the last few they had.  :-)

Some my cringe to hear it, but I decided to split up a couple of the sets I have, because I think some people like books, some people like DVDs and some people like portraits and posters.  So I am selling the pieces separately.   

This listing is for the wood portrait of UF Grant -- I believe they call this "laser etched".  The portrait is actually burned into a solid piece of oak.   It will hang on the wall without a frame, as the portrait is "framed" by black finish on the wood, and has a slot in the back for easy hanging.   

NOTE:  The portrait is also numbered (etched into the wood on the back) -- the number you get may be different from the number shown in the photo.  But it will be one of just one-hundred made.      Also included will be the numbered certificate of authenticity from the set, with matching number to that engraved on the back of the plaque.

ALSO NOTE:  the card deck in the photo is not included -- just there to give you a sense of scale and size of portrait.

If you have a room where you hang posters and 8x10's of magic's past greats, then UF Grant definitely deserves a spot on the wall.  And this limited edition item may go up in value over the years, right?    Especially since I am offering this piece at an absolutely insanely low price.    (These were never sold separately -- only in the $199 set -- so hard to say what the "retail" would be, but probably about $50).

CONDITION NOTES:  new .   Genuine MAK issue from 2009 collector's set.    Also included will be the numbered certificate of authenticity from the set, with matching number to that engraved on the back of the plaque.

JUST TO BE EXTRA CLEAR -- this is for the Wood Portrait ONLY -- it is being sold separately from the rest of the collector's set components.   Pretty sure you understood that, but  just in case....
