- <p> Sleight of hand on a grand scale: that's what made
- magician DAVID COPPERFIELD famous and savings and loan
- executives infamous. So it's only fitting that Copperfield has
- purchased a major collection of magic memorabilia from the
- Resolution Trust Corporation, the federal agency in charge of
- cleaning up the S&L mess. The collection, originally acquired
- by a now defunct savings bank, includes artifacts like Houdini's
- private letters. "It's a playground, a dream," gushes
- Copperfield, who beat out the Library of Congress for the booty.
- "But it's not for curiosity seekers," he says. Only "qualified
- performers and scholars" will have access.
