The Grave of Herrmann The Great

Over on my DeadConjurers blog, I have posted photos of the graves of Adelaide Herrmann and her husband Alexander, known as Herrmann The Great. But recently I came upon THIS photo on FindAGrave.com and the owner of the photo Kenneth Hughes kindly gave me permission to put the photo up. Just below this image are two grave markers, one for Adelaide and one for Alexander. But I'd never seen the large tombstone before.

I've written a number of articles on Alexander and his wife Adelaide. I'd encourage you to check them out if you've never read them before!

Magic Detective ALIVE and More

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!
