Steinmeyer's The Card Trick published in August issue of Genii
The August 2011  issue of Genii Magazine contains a real treat for all Houdini buffs. This latest issue includes a short article by Jim Steinmeyer, Houdini and Margery in the Spotlight, in which he talks about his one-act Houdini play, The Card Trick. But the real treat is that Jim and Genii have included the full text of play with photos. Great stuff!

I thought the real treat was a snippet video in the Electronic version of Genii! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat? I didn't know about that. I'll have a look now. Thank you, Joseph P. :)
ReplyDeleteAh, I guess that's only available on the iPad version maybe?
ReplyDeleteNope. It's on all. Go to page 66 and look for the "watch" button.
ReplyDeleteOh, I missed that. That's great! Thanks. :)
