Magician Mark Wilson is a world-famous entertainer who created several unique business cards over the course of his career.  These cards are highly collectible, and sometimes you can find them on eBay.  My name is San Diego Magician Michael E. Johnson, and I'm a big fan of Mark Wilson and Nani Darnell.  People collect Mark Wilson because he created the first magic series on network TV in history, designed the first TV premiums in history, and he wrote the most popular magic book in the world, "The Mark Wilson Course In Magic."

I've met Mark Wilson and his wife Nani Darnell and I can tell you they are really nice people.  Check out his website on-line for great merchandise, DVDs and collectibles, or see him when he lectures at local magic clubs.  He can also be found teaching a magic class at the Magic Castle in Hollywood, sponsored by the Academy of Magical Arts.

Here's several examples of his business cards over the years, from my personal collection.

The card above is from his "Magic Circus" TV show from Dallas, Texas.  The next card below is a rare example of his Magical Productions Inc. business card for his wife Nani, "Mrs. Mark Wilson".  It opens up at an angle to reveal the address.

The next card below is from his tenure as President and Chairman of the Board of the Academy of Magical Arts, which hosts the famous Magic Castle in Hollywood.  You can see Mark and Nani there quite frequently, as Mark still serves on the Board of Directors.

This card shown below if for his business "Magic International" in Valencia, California.  I've visited his warehouse during a private tour, and I can tell you it's a thrilling place, packed with magic history, illusions stacked up to the ceiling, hours and hours of broadcast tapes from his TV specials, and crates upon crates of magic memorabilia.  He's quite a pack-rat!

Here's another example of his "Magic International" business card from Valencia, California.

I'm sure there's other examples of his business card floating around in the collections of magic enthusiasts, since Mark has travelled the world and had numerous businesses.  If you have any other examples, let me know and I'll keep updating this guide.

Now I have a favor to ask.  Could you please feedback for me below?  That sure would make me happy.  Have a great day!
