Never fear, The Magic Detective is still ALIVE! He's just been really busy....err umm, I've been really busy. Getting ready to head into the final month of 2012 and really burning the midnight oil to have a record setting month of shows. But that has also means, I've been away from the blog, and the youtube show. BOTH will be back soon. In the meantime, enjoy this little piece on the HOUDINI MUSEUM in NYC!

Harry Houdini Still Resting In Peace 86 Years Later
86 years ago at 1:26 p.m. in the afternoon, Erich Weiss aka Harry Houdini passed away. His death came as a shock to people all over the world. At the same time it was a welcome relief to fake spirit mediums across the Globe. He went from being a mortal with seemingly super human abilities to mythic or legendary status.
He was the Greatest Escape Artist to ever live. He was one of the greatest showman of all time. And he holds the status as the worlds most famous magician even to this day.
The Spirit of Houdini Lives On!!!
Happy National Magic Day To All My Magic Friends Out There!
And Happy Halloween to everyone else!
Contest ANSWERS Special
The First Magic Detective Contest is now officially over. Thanks to everyone who sent in answers. Seems that I may have made the contest a bit on the difficult side, lol (sorry about that). Maybe next time I'll keep it to 10 questions or less and maybe not so hard. As it was there was no one who answered all the questions correctly. The person who came the closest however was awarded the First Prize, which was the Kellar book by Gail Jarrow. Technically I didn't have to give out a second prize, but I did anyway. I took all the remaining submissions and put them in a box and drew out one and that person got the second prize.
For those of you wondering what the answers to the contest questions were, I decided to put together a special edition of The Magic Detective Show with ALL the answers included. It's a longer video than all the other episodes, it's almost 10 minutes. And it will not be available on the Magic Detective Show YouTube Channel as you need a special link to see it. The only place where you can see the video is by watching it below.
Once again, thank you to everyone who tried and thanks for continually watching my show and reading this blog!
