I have some exciting news today about the upcoming Houdini diary book. Michael Albright has come onboard as the book's designer. If you check out Michael's official website, you'll see why this is such great news.
We are all familiar with the letters Houdini wrote to his brother Hardeen after his mother's death in 1913. But I had never seen a letter from Hardeen back to Harry. That's why I was so excited to find a handful of such letters at the Harry Ransom Center.
Dan Gutman, author of Houdini and Me (and a patron), took the Thalia Kids Book Club Camp to Houdini's Harlem brownstone and shared this fantastic photo on his Twitter.
Sad news today. The popular Houdini's Escape Gastropub in Appleton, Wisconsin, will be closing on July 16. Houdini's Escape has been part of Houdini's hometown since 2013.
A new play by Sabine James, Der Große HOUDINI, will be presented on the open-air stage at the foot of the Burg Güssing castle in Burgenland, Austria, July 11-30.
