Carnegie ON The Magic Word Podcast with Scott Wells

 

Looks like yours truly is on an episode of the long running The Magic World Podcast by Scott Wells. Yes, I can do another podcast but I cant get my own done, lol. Scott was very gracious to ask me to appear on his podcast. Turns out we both have a similar origin story when it comes to podcasting. We were both inspired by an earlier podcast called TheMagicNewswire by Dodd Vickers. 

Scott and I talk magic, magic history, HOUDINI, painting and....oh and speaking of paintings. Can you believe that I give the INCORRECT address to my store to buy prints. Uggh. The correct place is carnegie-magic.myshopify.com.  I left off the MY part when I gave the address on the podcast. Such an amateur, lol. Hey, Im new to selling my artwork. NOT new to the magic business and I got all of those site names correct, lol. 

Here is where you can WATCH THE podcast online if you like. I will also post the address where you can just listen. And of course, if you aren't already a listener of The Magic Word Podcast, you should be. Scott has produced and hosted close to 1000 episodes. That is mind boggling to me! He does such a fine job and his is a great podcast with interviews of modern day magicians and folks working in the magic world.

Houdini Just Showed In the Mail

 

I received an unusual envelope in the mail with a shadow image of Houdini in the corner. I opened it and inside a very cool looking image of Houdini from what was clearly an old marketing piece once used by the master mystifier. See below...

And once I turned it over, it reveals an ad for John Cox's upcoming book, The Ultimate Houdini Chronology Volume 1, HANDCUFF KING The Conquests of Harry Houdini 1900-1909. With the words COMING IN 2026!!!

WONDERFUL GIFT!!!! VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!!!!!

New Book on Houdini Filled with Never Before Seen Images

 

ALERT: New Houdini Book, That You Don't Want To Miss! This might be my favorite kind of new Houdini book. It's called Exposing Houdini by Charles Greene. The book contains images that perhaps no one has seen since the days of Houdini. These were found in an abandoned safety deposit box, glass plates with images of a younger Harry, from the period of 1903-1911. Judging by the cover, he is in 'fighting shape' in these images!

Every time new pictures of Houdini turn up, it's exciting. And they turn up all the time! Well, not all the time, but every couple years they seem to turn up. And now to have so many of them show up at once, is huge!

Charles Greene, is a friend and fellow magic historian. He's also an excellent magician in his own right. But he has a passion for magic history that I admire. He has been trying to track down the origin of these glass plates for some time. He thinks they might have come from the Dunninger Collection, meaning from Dunninger's House in NJ. How they ended up in a safety deposit box in the middle of the country is a big mystery. 

But the good news is, they have been found and are now being shared in the new book, Exposing Houdini by Charles Greene. This is a limited edition run. So you'll want to order it while you can. The book is a 10x10 coffee table book printed on the highest quality paper, 164 pages. It's going to be insanely cool!!!
