A lecture demonstration on the life of Houdini by Mark Rose.
The demonstration was part of a series of in-gallery performances that accompanied Wellcome Collection’s Smoke and Mirrors: the psychology of magic exhibition.
Why does the legend and myth of Houdini still resonate 93 years after he completed the ultimate escape? Mark explored Houdini’s life and career and how his impact is still felt on magic today.
