HARRY HOUDINI
VISITS WILLIAMSPORT * 1920's
Harry Houdini appeared here at the Pine Street United Methodist Church in the
1020's. Three buildings, erected here in 1826, 1843, and 1868-69, had already come
and gone prior to this visit. Houdini performed in the church built in 1910 that was
unfortunately destroyed by fire in 1977. The present church was dedicated in 1980.
In 1895, not yet famous, Houdini, 21, performed at the "old fair grounds" with
the Welch Brothers Circus. Papers raved about his "Metamorphosis" trick. As part
of his show at the church, he exposed spiritualists who claimed to contact the dead
with a huge $5,000 challenge to do something he could not replicate. Houdini told
the crowd he "had never seen any town change as much." His exploits here were uncovered by
magicians Dorothy Dietrich & Dick Brookz of the nearby Houdini
Museum in Scranton, the onlybuildiong in the world dedicated to Houdini.
Furthermore, a Houdini exhibit is on display in the lobby of City Hall.
