Happy 122nd Birthday, Bess Houdini!
Roger Dreyer
Chief Executive Officer at FANTASMA TOYS, Inc./ Houdini Revealed (Formerly Houdini Museum of NY)
Most people who know me well know that my love of magic from the time I was a child has led me to a career of making magic happen in the toy industry and amassing an extensive collection of Houdiniana. In honor of Bess Houdini's 122nd birthday today, we visited the Houdini's home in Harlem.
With the original astounding woodwork that encased every door and window, 14ft mirrors, architectural ceiling elements of the era, and of course secret compartments, old-fashioned "spyware", and plenty of protective bars, walking inside Houdini's home was beyond exciting.
Fantasma Toys has brought magic into the lives of children around the World. Formerly the Houdini Museum of New York, my Houdini Revealed collection is displayed online and in a private location available by appointment for tours and filming.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAR BESS!
