Houdini Museum of New York

[edit]
  • ... that the Houdini Museum of New York houses the world's second largest collection of "Houdiniana"? Source: "Curator Roger Dreyer, head of Fantasma Toys Inc., spent two decades and millions:of dollars amassing the second-largest Houdini collection in the world, behind only magician David Copperfield’s. But Dreyer had nowhere to display his prized items." Note2 "Houdiniana" here
    • ALT1:... that ...? Source: "You are strongly encouraged to quote the source text supporting each hook" (and [link] the source, or cite it briefly without using citation templates)

Created by Stevevil13 (talk), Jllm06 (talk), and 7&6=thirteen (talk). Nominated by 7&6=thirteen () 19:43, 7 January 2018 (UTC) at 19:29, 7 January 2018 (UTC).

  • QPQ done (albeit quite old, though I think that's fine). No image. Hook is very interesting (particularly use of the word "Houdiana") and is sourced to the New York Daily News which, for purposes of an article on Houdini memorabilia, I think is very RS. Article is long enough (without much room to spare). Article is NPOV. There are some "citation needed" templates in the article but they relate to secondary information and don't impact the hook. Article moved to mainspace on January 7. No obvious copyvio. Looks good! Chetsford (talk) 19:47, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
