The Houdini Magical Hall of Fame (1968-1995) was opened in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada in 1968 within a renovated meat-packing plant. It contained items from Houdini’s personal collection of magic.
The museum was chased by freak accidents to its eventual location on the top of Clifton Hill in a century-old Victoria Park train station in 1972.
Sidney H. Radner allowed choice pieces of his collection, which he inherited from Hardeen, to be displayed there. Séances were held every year at the museum on the anniversary of Houdini’s death, October 31.
Fire swept through the Houdini Magical Hall of Fame on April 30, 1995, destroying many of the magician's artifacts, closing the museum for good.
