Date & Time: Wednesday, August 24 - come as you wish during the day.

pjohnson@skirball.org Houdini starts promptly at 1:30 p.m.; Masters of
Illusion goes at 2:30.

Peter Johnson, our host, will plan to be in the lobby around 1:00pm to watch for SLA members coming for the tours.

However, SLA members who decide to do this on their own can gain entry simply by telling the admissions desk that they are here as part of the SLA group.
If you would like to see Noah's Ark, a child- based hands-on exhibit, it'll be crowded. Contact Peter Johnson for information about timed entry - (310) 440-4707.
Parking is free: Lot is across the street from the Skirball on Sepulveda; it's a right turn heading north, at the light at Bergreen (just north of Skirball Center Drive).
Dining: Lunch cart is available with salads, sandwiches, chips and drinks. If you'd like a sit-down meal, there's Zeidler's Cafe. Reservations strongly recommended: (310) 440-4515.
