In 1914, Harry Houdini visited Wales as part of his European tour, called the 'Grand Magical Revue,' performing at the Empire Theater in Cardiff on May 29th. Rather than performing his famous escape acts, Houdini focused his 'Magical Revue' on card tricks and classic illusions like the 'Egg Bag,' 'Goodbye Winter,' 'Calico Conjuring,' and 'Metamorphosis.'
