“The Houdini connection is worth an estimated $1 million a year in economic impact in the community” according to an Associated Press (AP) story for the economic impact of the Houdini connection for the small populated area of Appleton, WI, where Houdini spent just a small part of his childhood. This, even though Houdini famously said: “The best escape I ever did was the day I left Appleton!”  Imagine the huge  impact Scranton’s Houdini Museum has in the Northeastern U.S. area which draws from over 55 million people, or about about 17% of the U.S. population on less than 2% of the nation’s land area.

Here are a few recent ways Scranton’s Houdini Museum is reaching out and bringing these potential customers to their area:
