THE HOUSE OF HOUDINI

The magician Houdini that all of Hollywood has praised is one of those Hungarians of unknown origin. Here justice is done to the life of this man who emigrated from Budapest to the United States as a child. The tour (guided, departing every 30 minutes) begins with a riddle to solve and documents Houdini's doings. It concludes with well executed magic tricks. One drawback: the whole thing is touristy and the museum has nothing to do with the original building in the Jewish quarter, where the Weisz became "Houdini".
