Houdini's Legacy: Calgary's Masters of Magic
Presented by The Calgary Magic Circle
One hundred years ago, Harry Houdini took his final bow.
On October 23, Calgary's finest magicians gather to mark the centenary of his death; an evening of sleight of hand, illusion and impossible escapes staged in his honour. The night builds to its climax with Dayle Krall, "The Houdini Girl," performing the Water Cell Escape: shackled, inverted and submerged, with only seconds of air and no margin for error.
Houdini died on Hallowe'en, 1926. Some anniversaries are marked with a minute's silence. This one is marked by holding your breath.
A limited number of VIP tickets include general show admission PLUS an intimate close-up performance after the show; a few dozen people, a few feet away, and no escaping the eyes of the audience.
Some of the evening's escapes carry real risk. Recommended for ages 14 and up.
