HOUDINI: The Midnight Message
A century of silence is about to be broken.
For nearly 100 years, the world has attempted to call back the spirit of Harry Houdini. There have been séances in grand theaters and tributes in every corner of the globe. But for a century, one location remained untouched by the mystery: The very street where Erik Weisz was born.
HOUDINI: The Midnight Message is the first and only show to bring the wonder back to the source.
In the tradition of Houdini’s own 1920 masterpiece, we are the Miracle Mongers. We deal in the impossible, the startling, and the unexplained. We bring you face-to-face with the feats that made the world believe in the supernatural—even as the Master himself sought to debunk it.
We will provide the miracles. We will deliver the message. But we will never reveal our methods.
The centenary is here. The birthplace is waiting. Are you ready for the midnight call?
The Venue Fáklya Klub – On the Very Street of His Birth
Location is everything. Especially when it’s 100 years in the making.
Most Houdini tributes happen in distant theaters or modern arenas. But HOUDINI: The Midnight Message takes place at the Fáklya Klub, situated at Csengery utca 68—the exact same street where Harry Houdini (born Erik Weisz) was brought into this world in 1874.
Walking in His Footsteps
As you arrive at the Fáklya Klub, you are walking the very same pavement where the world’s greatest escape artist took his first steps. There is a haunting power in this geography; the air here carries the history of a boy who grew up to defy the impossible.
An Atmospheric Sanctuary
The Fáklya Klub (The Torch Club) is more than just a venue; it is a historic landmark of Budapest’s cultural soul. With its classic architecture and intimate performance spaces, it provides the perfect “parlor” atmosphere for our Miracle Mongers. Here, away from the noise of the modern city, the boundary between the past and the present thins.
Join us where the story began. At the source. On the street of the Master.
