Happy Halloween/National Magic Day

 on October 31, 2024

(Associated Press)

Yep, you heard me right. October 31st became a day to honor magic and magicians after Harry Houdini died on this day in 1926. No magician since has reached the level of fame that Harry Houdini did in his lifetime. His daring feats captured the imaginations of millions of people. He constantly faced death during his escape tricks, but it was appendicitis and a ruptured appendix that ultimately did him in. By the time he underwent surgery, a massive infection had already set in.

Rest in Peace, Harry!

On a happier note, Halloween is a day to dress up in costume and have a rousing good time! Masquerade parties with good music and delectable treats have been popular for centuries. So, go out and have some fun!

Enjoy your magical day!
