    Magic: From Hermes to Houdini. Incomprehensible incantations, mysterious symbols and accusations of witchcraft abound on this tour about the history of magic in print. You’ll be bamboozled by magicians like Hermes Trismegistus, Sidonia the Sorceress and the charlatan Rattletrap. Impress your friends with a newfound knowledge of bogus Latin spells. And along with these enchantments, you’ll get to experience the real magic of a fifteenth century book and an autographed portrait by Houdini in your hands. Created especially for visitors who seek an in-depth and focused look at the collection, Hands-On Tours allow you to get in touch with objects from the collection that are not usually on view to the public.
