Harry Houdini once said that the ultimate
magician is not just a magician, but a historian and a collector as
well.
At the age of 11 Rory Feldman started collecting
magic memorabilia and collectibles. Rory thought that in order to
become the best, he should collect the best.
Which is why Rory decided to focus specifically on
magician Howard Thurston. Now at the age of 29 he has the
largest collection of Howard Thurston artifacts, photos, letters,
autographs, props, and lithographs in the world.
One of Rory's favorite projects in the world of magic
collecting has been to create, design, and publish
www.ThurstonMasterMagician.com.
In the future Rory plans on
publishing the most comprehensive book on the life of Howard Thurston.
Amongst magicians and collectors
Rory is considered to be the authoritative voice on Howard Thurston.
One of Rory’s newest ventures has been to
create the Museum of Magic; a not-for-profit educational organization, that will bring the major magic collections from
all over the world together to one public magic museum in New York
City.
This museum is called the
Museum Of Magic.
The Museum of Magic
was granted museum status and given a
provisional charter on
April 24, 2007 by the Board of Regents of The University of the
State of New York and on October 26, 2007 the Museum of Magic was
officially granted tax exempt status under section
501(c) (3) of the Internal Revenue
Code.

Museum Of Magic please visit

While he is in touch with the past he’s as modern
as they come...
