Houdini continues to conjure the public. People continue to flock to us here in Scranton, PA., home for 22 years of the Houdini Museum, Tour & Magic Show. We are the only building in the world totally devoted to Houdini, & have the longest running and largest public exhibit in the world dedicated to Houdini. It's headed up by well known magicians Dorothy Dietrich and Dick Brookz. Ms. Dietrich has starred on a Home Box Office Special about escapes & Houdini called "The World's Greatest Escapes", & countless other national TV shows. She is the only woman to have accomplished the jinxed Bullet Catch, "The stunt that scared Houdini". Dick Brookz is currently starring in Psychic Theater's "Haunted! Mysteries of THE Beyond!", now running 7 years at the museum theater.

Yesterday the Travel Channel crew for Mysteries At The Museum filmed at the Houdini Museum a segment about the famous 'Mirror" cuff escape, one of Houdini's most famous and publicized escapes. Can't wait to see it!

Some of the best minds in magic and escapes were used for input for the story including many who are on the Honorary Board of Directors of the Houdini Museum including Jeff Blood, Dick Brookz, John Bushey, Milbourne Christopher, Patrick Culliton, Walter B. Gibson, Chris Gower, Mick Hanzlik, Bill Liles, Ian McColl, Steve Moore, Fred Pittella, Ken Silverman, Steven Sparks.

Our Houdini Road Show, the largest continuing traveling exhibit on Houdini, has finally all come back and is unpacked. It was on exhibit at the Seminole Coconut Creek Casino in West Palm Beach for much of this past winter.

So many people come to the City of Scranton to visit the museum that the City has just awarded the Houdini Museum a $30,000 matching grant to fix the facade of the museum. Help is needed to raise the matching $30,000.
