When I was 16-18 years old, I worked at the Houdini Museum in Niagara Falls. Insights from Ken McCreedy who worked at the Houdini Hall of Fame museum If anyone has any information or questions, they would like to discuss please feel free to contact us at inside the Water Torture Cell Below are other people's experiences and ideas in regards to this Water Torture Cell: After the fire and the insurance claim was processed the Cell that was stored had to remain hidden.Īfter all the time and money invested, we still do not have any definitive proof of what this Mystery WTC is, BUT WE LOVE IT!
It is odd that when there was a fire in the museum, essentially the only thing that burned was the WTC and the museum was scheduled to close later that year. Maybe this is why no one really cared about the condition of the WTC that was in the museum and it was so neglected over the years? This duplicate was then put in place in the new museum location. We are not certain, but we think that the Cell that went into the museum that Randi had measured had been left in storage when the museum moved, and a duplicate Cell was made using the parts removed from the original WTC.
We purchased the Cell when Dayle had been contacted by the seller and this was because they had found her as The Houdini Girl and thought she might be interested. A fellow performer from Nova Scotia had been approached but he was not in the position to purchase it at that time.
Over the years other magicians and collectors had been contacted regarding a sale but there were no buyers. The Cell that was stored remained stored for decades - minus the parts mentioned. Parts from this Cell had been removed (the two back handles, two plugs, one piece of the side hasp, etc). The items that had been stored were moved into the new museum location everything except the WTC. When the museum was being moved to the second location, a local farmer stored the WTC and other items from the museum as a favor. Here is our theory, as crazy as it sounds.
