The Halloween fun hasn’t ended… and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is knocking.

This weekend marks 100 years since the death of Harry Houdini, and Joe Diamond is returning to Maxwell Mansion for two final performances of The Houdini Experiment!

Inspired by Houdini’s final wish to prove whether communication with the dead is truly possible, Joe invites you to take part in an intimate evening of paranormal experiments, mystery, and the unexplained.

With just 30 guests per performance, this is your chance to be part of a little Halloween history, right here at Maxwell Mansion.

Will Houdini make contact… with YOU?

Fri 10/30 7:30p - 8:30p The Houdini Experiment
Sat 10/31 7:30p - 8:30p The Houdini Experiment
