October 31 is Magic Day, a day that commemorates the life and times of one of the
world’s best-known magicians Harry Houdini.
Best known for his escapist acts, Houdini died on this date in 1926 and this
unofficial holiday was created a year after Harry Houdini's death as Houdini Day.
The Society of American Magicians also organizes a National Magic Week every year
from October 25 to October 31 as a way to celebrate and appreciate the art and
science behind magic.
How to Celebrate?
1. Learn a few magic tricks and entertain your family and friends.
2. Read about the science and art behind magic acts.
3. Attend a magic show.
4. Watch movies that Harry Houdini acted in. Some of his more famous works include
5. The Master Mystery and The Man from Beyond.
6. Since it is also Halloween on October 31, why not go crazy with the magic theme?
7. Dress like a magician, decorate your home with a magic theme and entertain trick
or treaters with magic acts.
