Limited Edition Print #3 of Houdini for Houdini Centennial

 


Ive now released the third limited edition high art print of Houdini for the Houdini Centennial, the Celebration of the 100th Anniversary of Houdini's Death. This particular piece began 20 years ago. I created more than a dozen pieces in this style before I moved on. Each of the Houdini paintings that will be featured this year is quite unique in style. 

To date I have offered two different caricatures, and one in a more modern style. Coming later in the year there will be some abstract images, expressionists images, cubist, and surrealistic styles as well. To date, all the original paintings have been done in acrylics. However, I may offer a water-color print at some point. None of that matters really as I am only offering the prints. If I sell the originals, it won't be until 2027 and that is IF, I decide to sell them. 

You can see them and purchase the prints here: https://carnegie-magic.myshopify.com/products/houdini-blue-limited-edition-fine-art-magic-print-by-dean-carnegie

Hocus Pocus Closing!

 


At this moment, no idea what caused this abrupt closure. But one of the most popular modern magic shops is no more. This is a major blow to the magic community. HP was putting out some very clever 3D printed items and looked to have a great future going forward. But that is no longer the case. A sad day for sure.

LIKE HOUDINI Book Event

 


There is another book on Houdini coming out in a few days. There is going to be an onslaught of Houdini books this year. This time my friend Kent Cummins is the author and he's written a book called I WANT TO BE LIKE HOUDINI. The launch of the book will be Feb 17th at the Texas Magic Center. 

The book is described as "a tribute to Houdini 's life and the inspiration he sparked in a generation of magicians". Kent Cummins is a full time magician, a businessman, a marketing genius and an entrepreneur, and now author. 

The event on Feb 17th will be hosted by Kent, and will include a magic show, there is a Houdini museum display, close-up magic, and more. Im sure its going to be an exciting event. To learn more, visit likehoudini.com
