Some tips please on a display

After the purchase of the sensational CR Visa Card I am looking at putting together a shadow box display. I was after a few tips. I was thinking of putting the card together with the straight flush plus 1 card to show the back of the playing cards, plus an 8 x 10 signed photo and then the wicke P99 with silencer.
Do you guys think this is a little bit too much for one display. Any tips on the layout or the making of this would be much appreciated.

    Depens on the size of the shadow box...I have seen this done right and I have seen it done wrong...overlap of items is nice but leave, what I call, white space too...or make it look like the top of a desk, just hanging horizontally. Finally, if you have the room, consider doing a shelf display where you can touch and play with all the wonderful things you mentioned!

    Yes I agree with David... regarding being able to interact with the props and items.. I am not a big fan of framed and untouchable items... unless its a signed photo... or film poster etc etc ... items of that nature...

    I have 3 tall towered display cases towered from floor to roof in my mini Bond room / museum and a corner display case which I got from a jewllers shop. which was closing down..

    although all of my props and collectable are behind locked glass doors and the cleaning of all of this now and then is a bit time consuming.. the display effect and proffesional look is rewarding.. and enjoyable when showing to fellow Bond fans and friends etc etc

    however I hardly touch items once they are on display .. but I like to leave the option open if I want to test or make one of the working gadgets work etc etc ... or re arange a display or exhibit..
