Harry Houdini has died. Nevertheless, his wife would like a word… Inspired by the seances held by Bess Houdini following her husband’s death, Lucky Charm is an immersive exploration of grief and the magical possibilities in the unknown.

Venue: A secret residential location in the Ritchie neighbourhood. Address will be provided to ticket-buyers within 48 hours of your performance date.

A Defiance Theatre production presented by Common Ground Arts in partnership with Theatre Yes

From 1894 to 1926, Bess was married to the most famous magician in the world. That is, until he died under mysterious circumstances. Now, you’re invited to step on up! Satisfy your curiosity! Don’t be disappointed!

For the price of a personal token, you’ll be permitted to venture inside the home where Mrs. Houdini sleeps, eats, and does her damndest every single week to make contact with her dearly departed. Watch from the gallery, or have a seat at the séance table.

Treat yourself to a spectacular display of grace, grief, and with any luck: a little terror and delight of the paranormal. Behold as we explore one of the greatest mysteries from the four corners of the earth: the palpitating possibility of LIFE AFTER DEATH.

Allergen Note: This residence is home to cats. You should not encounter these cats during your attendance of the show.
