If you’ve never listened to a podcast called The Dollop, be warned that it is crude and sinks to the lowest depths of the humor to be found in each topic. But frequently very funny. In a recent episode they tell the sick story of Houdini’s rivalry with scam-artist/sex worker/medium Margery...

I was wondering if anyone knew anything about this movie? It's about a fake psychic trying to win the $10,000 prize offered by Harry Houdini for genuinely contacting his dead mother. What bemuses me about the film is the impression I get that the fake psychic's daughter is supposed to be...

Is irony sweet, or what? http://cbs3.com/watercooler/local_story_241092424.html

Wow - just finished this book and I must recommend it. Lots of pictures and very well researched. The authors make the claim that Houdini worked for the secret service for many years. Their claim seems valid. The second half of the book was the best, its when Houdini takes on the mediums...

I don't know if anyone is interested in this or not but I thought I'd share it with you.

This theory seems far-fetched to my (admittedly limited) understanding of the whole situation but I'm still glad to see it because it gets Houdini's name in the news. http://www.cnn.com/2007/LAW/03/22/houdini.murder.ap/index.html

Can anyone point me to an online source for correspondence between Doyle and Houdini? I'm particularly interested in the exchange of letters regarding the experience Houdini had with Doyle's wife. My books that contain these letters are, unfortunately, in storage at the moment, and my wife...

In memory of Harry Houdini who died on October 31, 1926. Harry Houdini: March 24, 1874 - October 31, 1926

I just waded through all the papers on my desk and unearthed a scrap of paper with the notation "Houdini, Discovery Health Channel, Oct. 29th @ 10 PM, Oct. 30th@ 1 AM, Nov. 2 @ 7 PM" I seem to recall a film crew in here many months ago interviewing Randi for a show they were producing, and...
