On New Years Eve, I received an email from Sammy Smith, Linking Ring editor, that my April 2024 article, “The Search for the Holy Grail of Houdini Handcuffs”, won an “Award of Merit” plaque, and the plaque (at long last!) was now in his hands from the awards company and would be sent to me shortly.
Well as you can now see, it arrived. I will display it proudly in my Houdini room.
Thanks to all the members of the IBM and Linking Ring editor Sammy Smith for this honor.
Fantastic! Congrats, Joe. Very deserving.
Thank you! That means a lot!!
Congratulations! You cracked that case like Colombo
Thanks! I love that comparison.
You’re welcome! Peter Falk us beaming with pride from Heaven.
Congratulations from over the pond👏
Cheers! Really appreciate the love from over the pond!!
Wow! This is great.
Thank You! 🙂
Nice! Well deserved! Do we have any path forward regarding actually finding the true Mirror handcuffs? I know there has been contact with the family of the magician Bess gave these cuffs but are we pressing forward or have we hit a brick wall?
Thank You! Heuber’s descendants were also contacted for the article, but never got back to me.
At this point, it’s just a waiting game.
