The Houdini Museum, Tour & Magic Show WEEKENDS is a gem of a place in Scranton. It is a simple and loving museum, filled with memorabilia and Houdini's stage props, and is the only museum of its kind in America. The experience is unforgettable and highly recommended. Visitors receive an outstanding history on the life of Harry Houdini, followed by a fun magic show with audience participation. The magician is interesting, a wealth of information, entertaining, and highly skilled. The show is epic and unbelievable from start to finish, amazing for both kids and adults. It makes for a most memorable visit.
The Museum is overflowing with authentic Houdini Magic Props, Posters, Photos and other memorabilia of Harry Houdini, his wife, and his parents. The place is crowded and they're looking for a larger place. Well worth the trip to see.

Fantastic little gem of a museum. While the history of Houdino is fascinating, well told, and well supported with historic items, the real treasure is Dorothy Dietrich. Her life story is fascinating, and she's one of a few people I've met who are impactful due to their courage to try. Amazing!
