Harry Houdini

The following posters, advertising Houdini's performances and various tricks, have been collected by magicians, friends, and fans of Houdini. Each colorful ad displays a different stage of his career, from the early days of performing in the circus to his spiritualism exposés.

The Society of American Magicians have announced that they will screen the TCM restoration of Houdini's The Grim Game at their upcoming Annual Convention, July 1-4, 2015 in Philadelphia.

When Englands Queen Victoria died on January 22, 1901, Houdini was performing his second record breaking engagement at the Alhambra Theater in London.

Almost a century has passed since his death, and Houdini, who was the most famous entertainer of his time, is still a name nearly everyone knows and reveres.
