Please pass the word along about Byron. In the next couple of weeks I will be putting more titles online covering gambling, mentalism, magic, juggling and ventriloquism.

Lots of books for sale that are hard to find, out of print, and from many collections Byron has acquired.

This is brand new. Byron himself is not on Facebook. I am Scott Alcalay and I will be doing all of Byron's work here. I am also his "Web master" guy.

Nothing special about his website, just lots of great collectible books on magic, mentalism, gambling, and ventriloquism!
