While they last when you visit the museum we have autographed copies of the book at the same original retail price. A huge portion of the book talks about our contribution to The Afterlife of Harry Houdini. | Go to Dorothy Dietrich website

Dorothy Dietrich & Dick Brookz for help on the Houdini stamp, 3rd feature story this season on "Mysteries At The Musuem" |
We've done the Original Houdini Seance for 30 years on Halloween. We do them in New York City at NY's original Houdini Museum, now in Scranton, PA. Also at his house on 113 St., and at his first home in NYC, etc. Pictured at one of our Houdini seances are magic legends Walter B. Gibson (in overcoat), Dorothy Dietrich, and Milbourne Christopher. Walter, Houdini's ghostwriter & confidant wrote the famous Shadow series and over 2,000 books, many on magic as well as on Houdini. Bess Houdini asked him to continue the Original Houdini Seances when she stopped. He passed on the legacy, responsibility and honor to celebrity magician Dorothy Dietrich, who's on our Board of Directors .Lately 10 or so people have begun to copy us, hoping to cash in, and charging from $25 to $100. Bess Houdini asked the seances not be done for monetary gain. We have NEVER AND WILL NEVER CHARGE AN ADMISSION FEE. |
