Detroit Was Wild About Harry (Houdini)
Jeremy Dimick, Director of Collections and Curatorial at the Detroit Historical Society, gives a talk on Houdini on Thursday, October 29, at 6:30 p.m. at the Detroit Historical Museum in Detroit. Marking the 100th anniversary of Houdini's death, it looks at his ties to the city. Admission is free.
Harry Houdini played Detroit 19 times between 1894 and 1926. He performed in hundreds of cities worldwide, but he's forever linked to Detroit: it was the site of his final stage performance and of his untimely death.
Dimick digs into the circumstances of those 19 appearances, how the public reacted, and how the shows reflected the arc of Houdini's career. The talk wraps up at 7:45 p.m.
The museum is open 5 to 8 p.m. that evening with free admission.
