Few people have grabbed the public's attention like Harry Houdini. Nearly a century after he shuffled off this mortal coil Houdini continues to be a cultural influence. If you're like me, however, your familiarity with the man starts and stops with the very basics: he was the World's greatest magician.

So it was a real treat to find out The Jewish Museum had a Houdini Exhibit.

If you'd like to learn how the poor Erik Weisz transformed into the iconic Harry Houdini make a trip down to the Jewish Museum. The exhibit is wonderful, filled with artifacts, archival video footage, Photographs and more that really help put Houdini in context.
