The world of collecting is not only chasing and acquiring yesterday's prizes, but also making sure that future collectors will be able to enjoy what we have today. Is your collection properly protected against fire, flood, theft, and light? Do you have your items cataloged in a way that not only lets you know what you have but also where it is? Do you know how to properly clean feather flowers or display magic sets? Have you planned on how your prized objects will be dispersed, either before or after your death?
Magic collections, regardless of whether they're books or props, are under constant attack from thieves, the forces of nature, and even the atmosphere itself. You need to identify those enemies, know how to protect your collection from them, and how to pass your valuable materials on to future collectors.
The Conservation of Magic will turn your files and boxes of neglected props and printing into a valid and worthwhile collection...if you follow its advice.
Leo Behnke was the curator of David Copperfield's vast magic collection. Benefit from his experience and knowledge.
