Founded in 1978, the museum contains two floors of artifacts and magic memorabilia. It is the largest collection of magic on display in the United States. The collection includes thousands of magic show posters, rare books, and stage props used by many magicians such as Harry Houdini and "the Queen of Magic" Adelaide Herrmann. Guided tours are available at 11 am and 2 pm (only at 2pm on Sundays). No reservations needed. Every Saturday there is a magic show in the museum at 1 pm, included with admission. Come enjoy the wonder of it all!
