About
An exhibition on the golden age of stage magic, around 1900, when magicians left the fairground for big theaters. Kids meet Harry Houdini, Okito and other famous acts, many of them Jewish performers, and see how vanishing, escaping and levitating tricks work. Then they try a few themselves, like sawing a parent in half. Dutch illusionist Hans Klok is the guide. School-age kids get the most out of it.
Adults €20, family ticket €40
