VISIT WILD ABOUT HARRYHoudini at the Library of Congress
Houdini was not only a performer but also an avid collector and researcher of magic history. His enormous interest in books, manuscripts and the history of conjuring helped preserve material that remains valuable to researchers today.
The Library of Congress is therefore an especially rewarding place to continue a serious Houdini search.
