 RECENT HAPPENINGS;

At 1:26 PM, the exact time of Houdini's death when a printing block Houdini owned flipped over across the table. If you want to see a 53 second video when it happened go to this Youtube video of when it happened.

USA TODAY-Travel Tips "For all ages-magic acts that incorporate live animals including doves, ducks, a rabbit, plus guided tour"

Getaway Mavens-Best Thing to Do in Scranton PA "3 hour tour/show-parking lot in the back."""be prepared to be amazed-Houdini Museum founders, Dorothy Dietrich & Dick Brookz, are well known, & considered "Magic Royalty". Dietrich was coined "The Female Houdini,"-her escapes are legendary, worked with Tony Curtis, & Bill Cosby, sawed Robert Klein in half on national TV-is the only woman to have done the Bullet Catch stunt, a trick that Houdini refused to do. Dietrich also gained international attention by escaping from a straightjacket hanging upside-down 150 feet in the air suspended by a burning rope. Isla Fisher in the hit movie, "Now You See Me", was based on Dietrich.

Award given by the US Post office to the Houdini Museum, Dorothy Dietrich & Dick Brookz for help on the Houdini stamp,

3rd feature story this season on "Mysteries At The Musuem"

We've done the Original Houdini Seance for 30 years on Halloween. We do them in New York City at NY's original Houdini Museum, now in Scranton, PA. Also at his house on 113 St., and at his first home in NYC, etc. Pictured at one of our Houdini seances are magic legends Walter B. Gibson (in overcoat), Dorothy Dietrich, and Milbourne Christopher. Walter, Houdini's ghostwriter & confidant wrote the famous Shadow series and over 2,000 books, many on magic as well as on Houdini. Bess Houdini asked him to continue the Original Houdini Seances when she stopped. He passed on the legacy, responsibility and honor to celebrity magician Dorothy Dietrich, who's on our Board of Directors .Lately 10 or so people have begun to copy us, hoping to cash in, and charging from $25 to $100. Bess Houdini asked the seances not be done for monetary gain. We have NEVER AND WILL NEVER CHARGE AN ADMISSION FEE.

Newly found HOUDINI written book! "The Zanetti Mystery," discovered by Joe M. Notaro and written BY HOUDINI in 1925, a romantic detective thriller (partly ghostwritten). This 8 Chapter novel was serialized for 8 weeks in Newspapers around the country, but never published as a book.
The paperback combines Houdini's love of mystery with his crusade against fraudulent mediums. The character of Zanetti shows the dark side of HOUDINI; what HOUDINI feared he could have become had he shifted to the racket of spiritualist trickery. HOUDINI would sometimes play
Zanetti on stage during his exposure act. Original illustrations, & a bibliography of other HOUDINI works. $24.99 Call (310) 384-4607
