Hi! I have recently become very interested in ventriloquism. I have a ton of magic and mentalism, much of it brand new and never used, that I would like to trade for ventriloquism items--instructional resources, puppets, script books, etc. Please get in touch with me if you have any vent stuff that you aren't using and are willing to trade for magic and mentalism items. Thanks in advance!

Jay

A couple of people have let me know that saying I have a ton of magic and mentalism is not specific enough, and they suggested listing at least some of the items I have. So, here is my first list of magic items that I'd be willing to trade for ventriloquism related items.

I looked up as many of the items as I could on Penguin. I then listed the retail prices according to Penguin. I thought it would be easier for anyone to figure out a comparable trade if they had that information on the list.

There were a few of the older collectible books that did not have retail prices. I looked up what they had sold for in the past on eBay and made a guess as to how much they are likely worth on an auction site.

There were a few items for which I could not find a price, so I noted those with some question marks.

If Penguin's website showed that an item was discontinued and no longer available, then I put an asterisk before and after that item.

I tried to group the items into relevant categories.
