18.4: Houdini's Ghost (Interview Special)

Rob and Luke are joined by Judas and Magnolia, husband and wife magicians with a research interest in Harry Houdini. Following the death of his mother, Houdini became interested in making contact with the spirits of the dead but was disillusioned by the stage illusions he witnessed popular mediums perform for their audiences. Even Arthur Conan Doyle’s wife couldn’t change his mind about the truth of spirit communication. But he remained obsessed with the topic and performed his own seances right up to the end of his life.
