This is wonderful news. Illusionist and theatre owner, Wayne Alan, is producing what he intends to make an annual event,
The HOUDINI Festival, in Danville Virginia. Wayne is the owner of the
The Historic North Theatre in Danville. He is also an award winning illusionist, corporate magician and a big Houdini fan.
The dates for the First Annual Houdini Festival are June 21&22, 2013. On Friday evening June 21, there will be a close-up magic show in the Balcony's Mini-theatre that seats only 100. On Saturday there will be a display of Houdini memorabilia, also lectures and viewings of two of Houdini's movies. In the basement of the theatre you can see an attraction called Houdini's Haunted House. Then in the evening there will be a gala show on the main stage with top magicians and variety artists.
Wayne has a few special connections to Houdini. One of them was recreating Houdini's upside down hanging straight jacket escape in the same location in Washington D.C. that Houdini presented it. He also owns some unique Houdini memorabilia that will be on display during the event.
Tickets to the festival can be purchased by calling 434-793-7469 or visit the theatre website at
