Houdini Seance

 

Via #AnthonyDarkstone, President International Assembly The Society of American Magicians:

Here's a fine message from #DorothyDietrich:-

Houdini Seance

The Original Houdini Seance Zoomed Free from The Houdini Museum on Halloween. You’re invited to The Original Houdini Seance being zoomed to you from The Houdini Museum, Scranton, PA. USA on October 31, Halloween, beginning at 12:30pm Eastern.

The event will be headed up by renowned Magician, Escape Artist and authority on Houdini Dorothy Dietrich. She is a noted Houdini Historian, speaker, and consultant who has appeared on many TV shows including Mysteries At The Museum, The History Channel, Deals From the Dark Side, Tom Snyder, starred in an HBO Special; The World’s Greatest Escapes hosted by Tony Curtis and many more. Her talents have taken her all over the world. Dietrich is the Director of The Houdini Museum. Also appearing for the second year on Zoom will be Dick Brookz noted magician, mentalist, comedian, Houdini Historian, creative consultant. He travels performing and consulting with magic & Houdini projects. Dick is the curator of the Houdini Museum and featured magician.

It will all begin at 12:30 pm on Zoom with a discussion with The Houdini Family Jeff, Forrest & Debbie Blood as well as …

They will share some of their fun stories about what it was like growing up in the Houdini Family. Also… John Cox who writes the popular blog WILD ABOUT HARRY ( wildabouthoudini.com) will share a few minutes about what happened with Houdini in 2021. John lives in Los Angeles where he is currently working on a definitive book about Houdini's life and career.

The actual seance will begin at 1:26 PM, the time Houdini died on Halloween in 1926. This event has always been FREE. The New York Times early on reported Mrs Houdini wanted "the motivation for the spirit-communication to be free from monetary gain." When Bess Houdini stopped doing the seances after 10 years, she asked renowned Houdini biographer and creator of “The Shadow” series Walter B. Gibson to carry them on. Dorothy Dietrich attended Walters’ Seances for many years around NYC throughout the late 1970’s at New York's legendary Magic Towne House and at Houdini's NYC brownstone on 113th Street, at Houdini’s first childhood home on 79th Street in NYC and at the Houdini Museum in Scranton, PA, the only building in the world dedicated to Houdini. ( http://Houdini.org )

When Walter B Gibson got up in years, he turned the responsibility and honor of carrying on the Original Houdini Seance to Dorothy Dietrich. Last year the seance was about to be cancelled because of COVID, but thanks to the technical expertise of Hank Feinberg, it became the first ever virtual Houdini seance and had a worldwide record attendance of 200 guests. Due to demand this year there will be 500 spots available and is likely to sell out so book early.

There will be a very special Houdini souvenir for some who attend.

Each year since his death, a tribute in the form of a seance has been conducted on Halloween, the day Houdini died. This is the only Houdini Seance that dates back directly to Houdini and his wife, Beatrice.

You are invited to get a virtual front row seat & close up look at this memorable historic Houdini event. Will Houdini give us a sign from the Beyond? Who Knows…

How?

 

How does a humble Jewish boy from Montreal transform himself from graphic designer, to magician, to therapist, all the while enjoying the landscapes across Canada spanning some forty-one years? This is the subject of this book. When I first landed in Winnipeg from Toronto, and after a while, I checked out the local magic club, I remember meeting a magician whose business card read “A Man for All Seasons, Magic for All Reasons”; this is where the title of this book was inspired from! I’ve also changed the names and identities of most of the people here, as well as some of their careers/jobs, and the names of some places, and organizations for the sake of privacy/anonymity. Any resemblance to any person living or dead is purely coincidental. This is the story of my life of positively affecting my public in printed media, the medium of television, and finally the therapist’s couch and in social media. Some have called me a “Renaissance Man”, I choose to refer to myself as “A Man for All Seasons”. Decide for yourself. https://www.amazon.com/dp/172211763X?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860

An Honour

 

An honour for me to have received these comments from such illustrious gentlemen!

“Dr. Michael Likey brings to The Art of Magic not only a sartorial elegance but also decades of quintessential experience. This has been amply demonstrated in his TV appearances, live performances and the content of the masterful work in his book, "Metaphysics, Mysticism & Performance Magic" to which I was pleased to write the Foreword. Having worked with him on numerous occasions I can unreservedly attest to the meticulous detail and quality of his performances."-Anthony Darkstone, President, The Society of American Magicians International Assembly.

“I really enjoyed seeing The Floating Table”. Very similar to my father’s performance of it.”-Lon Mandrake, President of The Society of American Magicians, (Assembly 95) and son of the internationally renowned magician, Leon Mandrake.

“Thank-you for the interview, Mike. I am very pleased on how it turned out. You did an excellent job conducting the interview with me, and putting everything together into such an interesting and engaging magical episode! It is indeed my honor to be on your fantastic show!”-Rod Chow, National 1st Vice-President and President Elect, The Society of American Magicians.

Thank-you Anthony Darkstone, Rod Chow, and Leon Mandrake
