For many years, Ray Goulet provided a complimentary DVD about his New England Mini-Museum of Magic. Ray and Ann have now shared this video tour with visitors to the NEMCA site. Ray shows rare items from his collection, demonstrates the Card Spider, and discusses how he started collecting.
Enjoy visiting with Ray Goulet at the New England Mini-Museum of Magic.

Around 1974 Ray Goulet made a decision that it was time to sell the illusions and magic accumulated over a thirty year period that he was no longer using. He would keep only the magic for his club date act and maybe a few pieces to which he had become attached.

Armed with a Sony tape recorder, I returned to the Goulets’ magic center after a hiatus of several years. My first visit should have included note making. But, I was so inundated with details and a need to sort them out before I could describe them in writing that I promised to come back.

Excerpt from Memoirs of a Magician’s Ghost
When the S.S.United States cut through the ocean waves as one of the world’s largest steamships, 22 of its trans-Atlantic sailings boasted a magical entertainer on board named Ray Goulet. On a Cunarder crossing in 1969, I believe, he gave a private show for the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.
