The Life and Magic of Harry Houdini

The Life & Magic of Harry Houdini presented by Historian and Curator of the Mark Twain House, Mallory Howard on Monday June 26th at 1pm. Harry Houdini is without a doubt one of the most fascinating figures of the early 20th century. He was a star of the stage and screen, and one of the most entertaining performers in the world, yet most people are not as familiar with his private life and the stories behind his astonishing magic. Whether he was debunking spiritualists, battling from inside of a sea monster, or attempting to make it as an aviator, his story is anything but dull! Free for members, $10.00 for non-members 55 years of age and better.
