That’s right, the District of Columbia, aka the Capital of the United States. Got to do some Houdini Research (images 1 and 2) at the Jefferson Library of Congress (image 3), visit the Capital Building (image 4), Arlington National Cemetery Virginia (image 5), Lincoln Memorial (image 6), and last but certainly not least, got to hang out with Corporate Magician and “Iona” author, Charles Greene III (image 7). Also visited the Natural History Museum and the Air and Space Museum (no images).

The film is interesting because it is well made and goes in an upward curve….several of Houdini’s numbers are wickedly exciting. Todays News
