Rogers, Mike. Large Archive of Mike Rogers-Jeff Busby Correspondence. Spanning 1975 - 1995, and composed of hundreds of pages of typed letters, and frequently including carbons of Busby's responses. Contents primarily concerned with magic news, gossip on the passing scene, and, in later letters, business matters, as Busby manufactured one of Rogers's routines. Occasional detailed discussion of tricks and methods. Many letters relate to Rogers's extensive trade show work and that of his contemporaries, as well as other close-up magicians: Frank Shields, Eddie Tullock, Paul Gertner, J.C. Wagner, and Mike Skinner, among others. Over 200 pages, mostly 4tos, neatly organized. Sold with a cache of Rogers lecture notes.
