Airbnb now offers a magical stay in Harry Houdini’s domain

No, you can’t see anything, you’re actually spending the night at the famous Harry Houdini’s estate in Los Angeles, California. As an illusionist, Houdini is full of tricks designed to wow audiences around the world, and his home is no different.

Airbnb is constantly enriching its collection of unique stays, from an overnight stay surrounded by volcanoes to today a stay at the Houdini domain. While the home sharing platform’s party ban has been extended, that doesn’t mean you and a select group of people can’t have a magical experience.

It wouldn’t be a real Houdini house without a bit of mystery, either. If you are feeling adventurous, you and your guests can seek out the natural caves and hidden tunnels of the estate. For the budding daredevils, you will also have the opportunity to approach one of the water reservoirs used by Houdini to practice one of its famous stunts. It is also said that Houdini’s wife used the house to host a party with nearly 500 magicians in attendance (so space shouldn’t be too much of a concern).
