Bill > LR378

This resolution commends the Omaha Magical Society for its efforts in preserving a significant piece of Nebraska's history and for continuing to foster the art of magic. The resolution highlights the historical importance of the "House of Mystery," built in 1913 for David P. Abbott, a renowned magician and inventor of classic tricks, which served as his laboratory and theater and hosted famous magicians like Harry Houdini. It acknowledges the recent donation of the house to the Omaha Magical Society by Teller of Penn and Teller, with the goal of restoring it as a venue for magicians and enthusiasts. The resolution also recognizes the society's work in restoring the house to its 1920s splendor, establishing a magic research library at the University of Nebraska-Omaha, and offering magic classes, including for young aspiring magicians, all in line with the society's mission to share the joy of magic.
