"Houdini: Art and Magic"

Those eager to find out how Harry Houdini pulled off his legendary tricks won't find any hints here. Instead, the exhibition traces the evolution of the escape artist's reputation, and reveals how his cunning feats have inspired others. Youngsters can view Houdini's diaries, straightjacket, handcuffs, shackles and "metamorphosis trunk" (which he used in his final show in 1926), as well as vintage posters, photographs and silent films. Also on display will be contemporary art inspired by the icon. Ages 8 and up.
