The Pitch

Jamie Allen and Simon Lee walked into the Den in 2006 with a theatrical musical of the life of harry houdini. They were asking for £231,750.

Despite their best efforts, the pitch didn’t convince the Dragons to open their wallets.

The Deal

No deal was made. The Dragons weren’t persuaded to invest, and Jamie Allen and Simon Lee left the Den without backing.

What Happened After the Show

Houdini The Musical did not survive long-term. The company has since been dissolved.

This is not an unusual outcome. The majority of businesses that appear on Dragons’ Den, deal or no deal, don’t make it in the long run. The show can provide a platform and capital, but it can’t substitute for a sustainable business model.

No. Houdini The Musical is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
