2812-1378) ARGOSY MAGAZINE, Volume 373, #3 September 1971.
Very Interesting article inside: "HOUDINIs MESSAGE FROM THE GRAVE" written by W.D. Chesney, M.D.
As the magazine piece states: "Having spent his life exposing phony spiritualist, the great escape artist, Harry Houdini, arranged a foolproof test of life after death: an elaborate plan to contact the living after his own demise. Few People are aware that documented evidence indicates he actually succeeded - at least twice!"
Bess Houdini and Arthur Ford’s 9 séances are discussed. A reproduced handwritten letter from Bess, is shown, stating the results of a session with Arthur Ford - where it is claimed Mr. Ford decoded the secret message Houdini and Bess had agreed upon: ROSABELLE BELIEVE.
Article also touches on Bess and another woman partnering, to make movies condemning spiritualism, with Bess as the Leading Lady.
Article concludes with a full page piece about the author, his old friend, (Dr. Van Welt) and Cal Harris (Houdini’s old business manager) attending a séance on March 1, 1942 conducted by medium Frank Decker. Cal Harris swears (and signed a statement to the effect) he DID make contact with Houdini (via Decker) by hearing the "voice" of Houdini, who answered questions to which only Cal Harris and Houdini would have known the answers. Did Houdini come back?!! - $25.00

2675-5599) AMERICAN HERITAGE Magazine. April 1972. Volume 13, #3.
This magazine comes Hardbound, instead of paperbound like most magazines.
Contains "Houdini's High-Flying Hoax" by Art Ronnie.
A wonderful article about the airplanes which collided during the filming of Houdini's movie "The Grim Game". A full six photos in this article -plus- great reading on what was almost tragic, but turned out to be the best thing for the movie. Houdini offered a Huge Reward to anyone who could prove this scene in the movie was not for real.
Since it DID Happen, this was a pretty safe bet and smart of Houdini to capitalize on the publicity, of the almost fatal stunt. - $15.00

2585-5501) AMERICAN HISTORY Magazine for August 1999. Volume 34, #3.
Spread out over Seven Pages is the article: "The Medium & The Magician" by Daniel Stashower.
As the magazine states:
"Harry Houdini is best remembered as an escape artist, but he was also interested in the supernatural, although as a skeptic. His skills as a magician gave him insight into the tricks mediums used to fool the public. In Mina Crandon, known as Margery, he found an opponent whom many people felt displayed true paranormal powers. Their confrontation took place after the carnage of World War I had driven many to seek consolation from "beyond the veil".
On page 44, there’s a second Houdini related article titled: "Houdini’s Props".
This is under the column of "Time Capsule, Objects in History". The article is by Eric Ethier and has to do with the where abouts of Houdini props. Three photos in this article, as well.
As can be seen from the photo below - the Magazine thought the article interesting enough to even FEATURE Houdini, Margery and the article on the Front Cover. - $35.00
