About This Event

Houdini Halloween 100 A centenary celebration of the life (and afterlife) of the legendary Master Mystifier. Magician, escape artiste, daredevil, showman, aviation pioneer, silent movie star and scourge of spiritualists, Harry Houdini - being ever the consummate showman - made his 'final escape' on Halloween, 1926. A century later, we commemorate his extraordinary life - and death - with this never-to-be-repeated live biopic, written and presented by magician and lifelong Houdini aficionado Paul Zenon, featuring signature Houdini effects and stunts, performed by a cast of very special guests. What better place to stage this unique event than a former Victorian mausoleum; now a dedicated circus cabaret space, in the town where Houdini made appearances at the height of his incredible career.
