Henry Muller, cofounder of the
Houdini Magical Hall of Fame,
a public museum and tourist attraction operated in Niagara Falls,
Canada, from 1968 to 1995, died on Feb. 28 in Hamilton, Ontario. He was
86 years old.
Four
years after opening, the Hall of Fame moved a half block southeast to
4983 Clifton Hill, into the old Victoria Park Railway Station, where it
remained until it
burned down 23 years later, on April 30, 1995. While
some of the collection, including the Water Torture Cell, was destroyed
in the fire, a lot of the paraphernalia survived and exists in many
private collections.
Heartfelt condolences to Henry’s wife, Bella, and the rest of the family.
