The Magical Mystery of Houdini - Joe Mendell
Houdini Unlocked
In June we welcome Joe Mendell, who will present The Magical Mystery of Houdini.
A lifelong fascination with magic led Joe to explore the extraordinary life of Harry Houdini, still regarded as one of the greatest magicians of all time. Houdini’s story is one of true rags to riches, marked by remarkable dedication and an unrivalled ability to captivate audiences. He was born in Louisiana, served in the US Army, and moved to the UK in 1978,
where he built a career in IT across the United States and London. Following redundancy, he took on a variety of roles before retiring in 2012. Since then, Joe has become a popular and engaging speaker for a wide range of organisations.
He remains actively involved in and is a driving factor and has a strong interest in sport, officiating across several disciplines. Joe lives in Tunbridge Wells with his family.
Join us for an entertaining afternoon of magical mystery!
