The Houdini Seance

The Houdini Seance refers to an event aimed at communicating with the famous magician Harry Houdini, who died in 1926. Houdini had a deep interest in the paranormal and promised to return from the afterlife to prove the existence of spirits. In response, his wife, Bess Houdini, held a seance on the anniversary of his death, hoping to receive a message from him. The event has since become a symbol of the intersection between magic, skepticism, and the search for the divine, highlighting Houdini's complex relationship with spirituality and his dedication to debunking fraudulent mediums.
