Harry Houdini the Magician

Houdini was fascinated with spiritualism throughout his life and pondered the ability to communicate with the spirit world. Before his death, he promised his wife Bess that he would communicate with her if he were able. Houdini died in 1926 on Halloween and Bess held yearly séances on that same date for ten years.

This year, on October 31st, Sean-Paul and Juliane Fay of Intrigue Theater will hold a séance and attempt to contact Houdini’s spirit. “While there have been perhaps hundreds of Houdini séances in the past 86 years – we don’t know of one ever conducted in a place as haunted as the Crescent Hotel,” says Juliane. Join Sean-Paul and Juliane for The Best of Intrigue Theater followed by a Houdini Séance beginning at 10 p.m. on Halloween night!

Other Houdini Escape: The Milk Can

Following the successful escape of a strait jacket, suspended upside down, by Sean-Paul of Intrigue Theater earlier this month, he now sets out to do the following…

A re-enactment of Houdini’s milk can escape of 1901.

Intrigue Theater has located and obtained a 70-year-old 30 gallon Milk Can. In the Spirit of Houdini’s Milk Can escape, bearing the unforgettable slogan, “Failure means a drowning death!” we submit the following challenge:

“Following an exhaustive inspection of the can and lid by members of the crowd, we hereby challenge Sean-Paul to be handcuffed, stuffed into the milk can filled with water and the lid sealed with 4 padlocks.  We are anxious to see if Sean-Paul can escape from such conditions or if he will have to rap on the sides of the milk can with the handcuffs to signal a rescue from EMTs standing by.”

The escape takes place on October 20 at 7 p.m. in the Basin Spring Park, less than a mile from our Eureka Springs Bed and Breakfast. We want to provide you with your very own escape – come join us and get in on the fun!
