Suprisingly good
By J, 08/23/09
I walked into the Houdini museum, into a room just packed with... stuff. Magic props, stuff, and ... junk. It smelled like an old lady's attic. I thought "I just paid $15 for this?"
But the tour was wonderful. The museum is an old house full of rooms packed with memorabilia - doesn't seem like much at first, but the tour guides made it fabulous. So much sincerity and enthusiasm in their tour, and so much interesting detail.
The best part was the magic show at the end. Rabbits were pulled out of hats, women were levitated. It's the kind of fun people rarely have in a world of Playstations and big-screen tvs. It was nice to know that even though the secrets to pulling a rabbit out of hat are available on the Internet, it can still bring a smile to my face to see it done. It was old-fashioned and hokey and just heart-warmingly good. I can't believe how much I enjoyed it.
