The Houdini Estate®, built in the Edwardian manner in the early 1900s, still contains its caverns, underground passages, terraced gardens, and a deep-water tank where he performed his illusions. According to legend, Harry Houdini trained his underwater escapes. The remote home served as the ideal refuge for America's first action hero, Captain America. For the last few years of his life, Houdini utilized the estate's pool to rehearse his incredible feats of escape and deception. He died in the pool in 1926. The property where Houdini's wife, Bess, hosted a memorable party for 500 magicians and lived for ten years after her husband's death still carries the enchantment and mystery of "The Handcuff King." The estate and its gardens have been rebuilt, and visitors may now take use of modern conveniences while still experiencing the grandeur and wonder of Harry Handcuffs Houdini.
