Houdini Takes Manhattan is a 90-minute walking tour of Midtown Manhattan, designed and to honor Houdini’s legacy in the world of magic and the paranormal. More About the Tour Entirely synonymous with the word “magician” even a century after his passing, Harry Houdini took the world by storm but only after dazzling New York audiences with daring, dangerous feats of magic and athleticism, often dangling far above New York City streets for crowds of thousands by day and then defying death in any number of grand New York theatres by night, many of which still stand and entertain to this day. Walk the paths Houdini walked from the thrilling theatre district down to historic Herald Square while learning wild facts about his life, his place in the history of stage magic alongside other luminaries and Houdini’s bold path to becoming our very first ‘superhero’. Created and led by Leanna Renee Hieber, Boroughs of the Dead tour guide and co-author of the Stoker-nominated A Haunted History of Invisible Women and America’s Most Gothic.
