Can the greatest escape artist even escape death?

In the spirit of scientific skepticism, two on-stage séances will summon the ghost of Harry Houdini — on Halloween, the anniversary of his death. The first séance will be earnest, conducted by a professional “psychic medium.” The second will be full of illusion and special effects, conducted by master magician Paul Draper.

WHAT: The Official Houdini Séance, part of the Bay Area Science Festival
WHO: Skeptic Michael Shermer, Magician Jamy Ian Swiss, UCSF Neuroscientist Melina Uncapher, “The Ghost of Harry Houdini”, et al
WHEN: 8:00 PM, Saturday, October 31 (HALLOWEEN!), 2015
WHERE: Brava Theater, 2781 – 24th Street, San Francisco, CA 94110
HOW: Produced by Bay Area Skeptics, Robert Strong, and Wonderfest. Buy tickets via Kickstarter or at the door.
