Strongers . left this review about Houdini's Magic Bar
Houdini's Magic Bar is a small dimly lit bar with a black carpet, blue dusty sofas and a central old brick fireplace on the left-hand wall. The ceiling is covered with fairy lights and there are lots of locks and hoops to compliment the numerous pictures of Houdini himself, although I didn’t know he had purple hair. The serving counter across the rear has a limited draught range of Grolsch, Meantime and Peroni, this place is about the magic rather than the beer, in fact the magician barman came out to do some tricks when a young family came in. Magic in general bores me to tears so I thought it was shit in here, but the young lad in the family was awestruck by the card tricks, so good luck to them.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Houdini's Magic Bar
Novelty bar with nightly magicians, and during the day the bar staff will also do magic tricks if not busy serving. Just two Curious Brewery craft beers on tap - IPA (£5.80) and Brew. Apart from the gimmick, it is just a dark little bar offering some entertainment to (I guess - given that Dutch seemed to be the language in use when I visited - mostly) tourists.
