Very cool!
Several years ago I was taken through the Copperfield Museum in Vegas. His pride and joy (aside from the Atomatons) are all the antique magic kits he has... there's a couple hundred of them ranging from the very, very old to those of more recent time like the Lance Burton kit.
There's a big demand for this kind of stuff now days. John Gaughan for an example, has collected antique versions of the Ball & Vase for years. His personal collection is rather awesome. Then there's Bill Palmer's Cups & Balls museum that really is a must see (I'll try to find the link to it and post it here).
