The National Museum of American Jewish History on Saturday night simultaneously inducted illusionists Harry Houdini and David Copperfield into its Only in America Gallery/Hall of Fame during a virtual livestream of its annual gala.

The honor was bestowed to just 21 prior inductees, including Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Steven Spielberg, Barbra Streisand, Emma Lazarus and Irving Berlin. The award recognizes the achievements and contributions of American Jews who share and exemplify the ideals of the stories explored in the museum, 101 S. Independence Mall East.
