Magic Speaker Series 2026

Minerva "The Handcuff Queen" with Gary Hunt

Follow Minerva’s evolution from a young English immigrant to a prominent early twentieth century escapologist. Her professional life was marked by constant touring, shifting partnerships, legal and managerial conflicts, and the challenges faced by women in vaudeville, yet she consistently demonstrated resilience, ambition, and ingenuity. Her British tour solidified her reputation, even as rivalry with Houdini and difficulties with agents complicated her path.

This event will occur on March 26th at 7PM
