Secrets of the House of Mystery: Omaha’s Hidden Magic & Legendary Visitors

Sunday, June 14 | 2:00 PM

Metro Community College, Fort Omaha – Building 10, Room 110

Join us this Second Sunday as we welcome Dave Arch, Executive Director of the Omaha Magical Society, as he unveils the remarkable story of the David P. Abbott “House of Mystery”, one of Omaha’s most intriguing and little-known historic treasures.

Tucked away at 3316 Center Street, this unassuming home once drew some of the greatest magicians in the world. Step into the golden age of magic, where legendary performers like Harry Kellar, Howard Thurston, and even Harry Houdini himself gathered behind closed doors to witness, and attempt to unravel, Abbott’s astonishing illusions.

Through rare historical images, modern-day restoration photos, and captivating stories, Dave will take you inside this mysterious house and the man whose magic left even Houdini questioning what was real.This is more than a presentation, it’s a glimpse into a hidden world of wonder, right here in Omaha.
