Magician and collector Syd Radner, long associated with the memory of Houdini, is in the news with an announcement of a new museum dedicated to Houdini. The museum, which will be based in Massachusetts, will display many of Radner’s Houdini-related items and other magic props that are currently in Las Vegas. Working with Radner on this project is Elizabeth C. Dobrska, a Mount Holyoke College student.
Radner and Dobrska hope that the museum will open in 2009. Along with Houdini artifacts, the museum will feature hands-on exhibits, lectures, movies and live magic performances. Before this can happen, Radner and Dobrska must raise $200,000 to renovate the building and set up the museum. The pair are searching for sponsors.
