Catalina Calendar

ONGOING Houdini: Terror on the Magic Isle Now through Oct. 7 Avalon Escape artist Harry Houdini delved into the magic of moviemaking toward the end of his career. This unique exhibition focuses on the 1920 adventure film “Terror Island” in which he starred. Ephemera and movie props from the film made on Catalina Island, nicknamed “The Magic Isle,” will be on display. The exhibition highlights a real-life occurrence in Catalina’s waters that placed Houdini in a precarious situation that ended in mystery.
