Greg said: "Even though Harry Houdini passed away nearly 100 years ago, he remains one of the most famous magicians the world had known.
"This is mostly because Houdini, as well as being a respected magician and escape artist, was above all, a wonderful self-publicist.
"Never one to let the truth get in the way of a good story, especially one about himself, Houdini created his own legend."
From every ticket sold for the show, £1 of it will be donated to Rescate Wildlife Rescue Centre in Costa Rica.
