Plus, Arthur Moses and I plan to continue our series of Houdini books, where the Master of Mystery chronicles his most amazing exploits. And, I will also share more research, items from my personal collection, and any Houdini adventures which will include the Magic Collectors Expo in NJ/NY and the SAM convention in Appleton, Wisconsin.

2026 is going to be an amazing year celebrating Houdini!
