  • Houdini Art And Magic At The Jewish Museum
    October 26, 2010

    Magician, escapologist, showman and anti-spiritualist crusader, Harry Houdini (1874-1926) spent his life in pursuit of fame. The success of his mission can be measured by the fact that he became an American superhero, the most famous magician who ever lived †and a figure whose influence on American culture persists to this day. In his prime, 1890s-1920s, Houdini⁳ theater performances sold out, his outdoor presentations attracted tens of thousands of spectators, and his escapes made front-page news around the world. The immigrant son of a rabbi, Houdini overcame anti-Semitic and anti-immigrant attitudes to gain mainstream acceptance, and became a source of great pride to America⁳ Jewish community. Moreover, his sensational escapes from handcuffs, chains, trunks, boxes and packing crates resonated with those who sought liberation from ethnic, religious or political oppression. All this and more is documented in ⁈oudini: Art and Magic,†on view at the Jewish Museum, New York City, October 29 through March 27, with 163 objects that explore the great magician⁳ career and legacy.
