Blogcast #10 is live! This one's about a man who claimed he was Houdini's assistant for 33 years, but I cast some doubt on that. It's based on a blog I wrote a few days ago, but these blogcasts are a bit easier to digest. Tom

This man claimed to be Harry Houdini's assistant and stand-in for 33 years. It just ain't so. Read more at the Interval Magic blog:

A few days ago I posted a blog about German Houdini imitator Harry Haudyni. Blogcast #9 elaborates on that a bit and includes the original 1929 film, which runs about two minutes. (Tom Interval, Interval Magic)

If you're a Houdini geek, you might find this pretty cool: a Google Street View 360-degree pic of Leo Weiss's (Houdini's brother) CT mansion, taken from the deck overlooking the pool and grounds. Did Houdini really practice underwater escapes in that pool?

Blogcast #6 is live! In 2013, National Geographic's Brain Games commissioned artist Pete Fecteau to create a Rubik's Cube mosaic of the Houdini two-face optical illusion I made that year. That's the subject of today's blogcast.

Here's this year's Houdini jack-o'-lantern, which I carved a couple nights ago. Happy Halloween on the 91st anniversary of Houdini's death!

Houdini died 91 years ago today. Instead of writing a piece about his death, I decided to blog re this scarce photo. https://t.co/0TqO54HmtD
