The Official Houdini Seance family mourns the passing of three honored members, with which we say goodbye to our original connections to the Houdini Legacy:

Sidney H. Radner 1919 - 2011

Our beloved leader, Sidney H. Radner passed away on June 26 in Holyoke, MA.   He has joined his late wife, Helen, who passed away on March 12, of this year.   We all loved Sid and Helen for their humor, warmth, knowledge and kindness.

Welcome to the website of The Official Houdini Seance®!  This is the only true and genuine Official Houdini Seance®. The Seance is organized by Sid Radner, and has been for many decades.  Sid has trademarked the name Official Houdini Seance® and as Houdini would say "don't be fooled by fakirs" (sic).
