Ten Halloweens at the Door
The centennial lands on October 31, 2026, the Detroit Historical Museum throws an evening of magic and mystery to mark a hundred years since Harry Houdini died in that city. Appleton, Wisconsin, where the boy Ehrich Weiss grew up, unveils a historical marker in Houdini Plaza the same day. At the Magic Castle in Hollywood, a centennial auction sells off his handcuffs and posters while a members’ séance waits for the night. In New York, thirteen invited guests file into his old townhouse for three closed sittings. Nobody scheduled any of it for October 30. The country knows which date belongs to him.
