Escaping Obscurity at the Magic Castle

Monday's Escaping Obscurity book event at the Magic Castle was a big success and a lot of fun. There was a lot of love in the room for Harry and Bessie, and genuine excitement about the book. Mike Caveney sold every copy that he brought. As a surprise, Dr. Bruce Averbook brought along the actual diary from his collection and even allowed attendees to handle it, just as Houdini had done 128 years ago. Wild. 

Thanks to everyone who came out to see us and to the Magic Castle for hosting us. I've written more about the evening and shared photos on my Patreon below.

If you haven't yet grabbed a copy of Escaping Obscurity: The Travel Diary of Harry Houdini 1897-1899, you can do so at Mike Caveney's Magic Words. There are still plenty of copies left, but the print run was not huge, so one day this book's availability will vanish and Houdini's diary will go back under glass. Just saying!
