I caught the History Channel documentary on the famous magician, Harry Houdini. I found it interesting that Houdini devoted much of his time to exposing fraudulent mediums, and even made a pact with his wife (to see if he could contact her after death). Bess Houdini (according to the film) tried every Halloween eve, from 1927-1936-she finally gave up on the 10th anniversary of his death. Lately, a distinguished group of American magicians placed a call in to harry, but he didn’t pick up. My question: if anybody could be contacted, it should be Houdini-have any “mediums” claimed contact? What did Harry have to say?
By the way, i was amazed at the price paid (at auction) for the “Chinese water Torture Cell”-has any modern magician used this prop since?
At the Magic Castle in Los Angeles (the private club for MAgicians) they have the “Houdini Seance Room” You cna have dinner in the room and then hold a seance to contact him. It’s only 90 dollars a person.
(None of the magicians believe in it. Its just good publicity.)
