Thomas Heric, along with co-creators John Shrum and Milt Larsen took one of the four bedrooms inside the Magic Castle and created the Houdini Séance Room. The room was created in 1969. Personages from all over the world attend the séances in this magical and mystical room. President Ronald Reagan was a guest in the Houdini Séance Room in 1991. Other celebrity guests include Johnny Depp and Hugh Hefner.

Leo Kostka has been the resident medium at the Magic Castle since 1988 where he entertains with astounding attempts to reach spirits from beyond! Misty Lee is just one of the many famous performers in the Houdini Séance Room. Unlike a medium she dazzles her audience with the magical illusion of communicating with the dead.

It is known that Harry Houdini made a promise to his wife, that in death he would send her a message from beyond...Hollywood’s Magic Castle explores the possibility of this promise through the Houdini Séance Room.

Halloween is filled with magic and mystery through witches, ghosts and goblins of all sorts! Ironically, Houdini died on Halloween in 1926. It’s not too early to be making your plans for Halloween! Perhaps you will be participating in a Houdini Séance! Thomas Heric just might be spending his Halloween at the Magic Castle!
