He is largely forgotten in the magic world, most couldn't even point him out let alone tell you what he did. Yet he comes up quite well in a Google search where many other better known magicians dont. I'm sure I'll be writing about Powell again. BTW, Houdini's Crystal Casket is in Ken Klosterman's collection and is quite a beauty.

One of the tricks in which Powell used the tokens employed a picture frame suspended in the air by cords. The frame had glass front and back and nothing between. Five gold tokens held in his hands vanished one at a time, immediately reappearing visibly between the sheets of glass. <br />Houdini performed Robert Houdin’s Crystal Casket, in which five coins disappeared from Houdini’s hands and reappeared one at a time, with loud “clinks”, in a small glass casket which was hanging above the stage.<br />BTW: After Houdini’s death, the Houdini Fraudulent Spirit Medium Lecture was continued by F.E.
