Houdini diary book in the wild!

If you are one of the lucky attendees of this year's Magic Collector Expo in Las Vegas, be sure to stop by the booth for Mike Caveney's Magic Words. Mike has a proof copy of our book, Escaping Obscurity: The Travel Diary of Harry Houdini, 1897-1899. Mike had this FedExed from the printer in China so expo attendees could have a special hands-on preview. 

I'm not at the expo this year, so attendees will be seeing the book before I do. Let me know what you think! I'll reveal the final cover here on Thursday. 

This year's expo includes a tour of David Copperfield's International Museum and Library of the Conjuring Arts. David was very kind in allowing us to use several rarities from his Houdini collection in Escaping Obscurity.

      It's getting exciting! I'm waiting for someone to send me a photo. But I don't think the dealer's room is open yet.

      We're all lucky DC has an incredible museum that preserves magic history in astonishing depth. Lay folks would have never done this. It had to fall on the shoulders of a magician.
