Houdini appears at Madame Tussauds in Vienna

The Houdini wax figure from Madame Tussauds Budapest has temporarily moved to Madame Tussauds Vienna. The figure was revealed on Monday during a special event at Magic World Vienna. Lucca & Anca Lucian, the world champions of mentalism, gave a performance. Original Houdini memorabilia from the Circus & Clown Museum in Vienna was also on display.

"Harry Houdini represents courage, illusion, and showmanship like no other. We are delighted to be able to exhibit him here for a limited time and to give our guests unforgettable moments full of magic," said Lukas Rauscher, press spokesperson for Madame Tussauds.

Houdini will be on display in the attraction's wax section until the beginning of November. After that, the figure will return to the main attraction in Budapest.

This isn't Houdini's first time in Vienna. In March 1902, he appeared in the flesh at the Ronacher theater, which still stands today.
