Michelle Cushing, distant relative to Peter Cushing, is all set to have her book, “Rosabelle, believe” have her book published on Oct. 31st. Here is a link to the first chapter. It seems to be about the characters being reincarnations of Harry and Bess.

Handcuffs stamped "HOUDINI" Kevin Connolly Collection
This is one a few articles that I will post today concerning last night’s opening of “Houdini” Art and Magic” exhibit. The articles will tell you more than I could ever tell you. All I do know is that everyone was impressed and seemed to to enjoy themselves.
Above is a Houdini handcuff from my collection on display. If you look closely at the flat piece on the cuff, you can just about make out Houdini’s name. When you go to the article, you click on the cuffs for a better view.
The Eclipsing Sensation poster, also in the article, is from my collection too.
Here is the link to the story:

Hard to believe, but here we have Houdini waiting for his exhibit to open at the Jewish Museum. He, like I, can’t wait to see their items again. 
I”m just wondering who of you will be coming to see the exhibit in New York City, before it goes on the road. I know I’ll try to make an appearance or two.

I’m sorry, but this is as close as I will get to my 15 minutes in the Sun. I hope Houdini will understand my self-promotion. Here is a link to a brief interview I had with the Jewish Museum and its’ upcoming exhibit, “Houdini: Art and Magic”.

Simply Amazing!
If this isn’t a scene out of a science fiction picture, than I don’t know what one would be.

Houdini Must Have Had A Bad Day
Is this the worst Houdini signature or autograph you ever saw? I know there was very poor one on Ebay for the last week or so, that wasn’t sold, but this new one has that one eclipsed. I know there are guppies out there who buy these “rarities”, but you would need a whale to buy this one.
