341: HoudiniOpoly - Dick Brookz & Dorothy Dietrich

[Scott Wells]

Dick Brookz and Dorothy Dietrich are the curators of the Houdini Museum in Scranton, PA. For the past two years, they have been working on a new board game, "HoudiniOpoly". Essentially it is a game that will be both fun and educational so the players will learn the facts about Houdini's life as they play. They recently completed the basic funding of a Kickstarter campaign. They are now on to reaching their stretch goals to improve the paper for the "money" and for the "charms" or player pieces.

In this week's podcast, they talk about the museum, the old Magic Townhouse in NYC, the Houdini seance and of course, their new project. The Kickstarter campaign will run through March 9, 2017 at 1:28 p.m. CST. The only way you can be assured of purchasing one of these collectible games is to support the project.
