Houdini 1926 by Wayne Dobson and Alan Wong

Product detailed description

Wayne revisits one of his best-selling and most talked-about plots: 'Conjurors Choice' and lends it a Houdini theme. Mystifying, novel, with Wayne's charming Harry Houdini storyline. There are no additions, alternate outs, no this or that. Despite the freedom of choice made by the spectator, they ultimately end up with Houdini's prediction. The routine is self-working, and the story goes:

"Houdini was one of the most famous stage magicians and illusionists in the world; even today, ask the average person to name a magician and Houdini will come to mind. Harry Houdini died on Halloween Night, 1926 - an auspicious date, given his deep interest in spiritualism and related matters. Just days before he died, as if he had a premonition of the accident that would befall him, he is said to have written a letter to his wife Bess to be opened following his death. As it turned out, this was to be his final letter. I have a replica of the letter here. Speculation has grown that the letter contained clues about how he could be contacted from beyond the grave, but in fact, it comprised a series of simple instructions. I'd like you to follow those instructions now..."

This is a customized Houdini-themed version of Wayne's Conjurer's Choice with full permission from Norm Nielson to reprint all the authentic magic posters of famous magicians, and the cards reduced from postcard size to poker card size, which makes this a lot better to perform and very commercial.

You, with the help of Houdini, can predict the result of spectators' choices from old magic posters.

You receive the full set of high-quality, full-color printed cards, along with an antique letter from Houdini, made of Tyvek material. Video and PDF written instructions are both included.
