HAPPY NEW YEAR, and welcome to another year of WILD ABOUT HARRY. Of course, 2026 is no ordinary year. This year marks the 100th anniversary of Houdini's death on Halloween in 1926. As such, there will be various Houdini celebrations, several new books, a major new documentary, and more that's yet to be announced. If you were around in 1976 and experienced the 50th anniversary, you're about to experience it all over again. But even more so!
I'm super excited that this will be the year I launch my new e-store and publishing arm,
Wild About Harry PRESS, where I will soon be offering the first volume of
The Ultimate Houdini Chronology. My commitment to this new enterprise may result in fewer posts here on WAH, but I won't let anything major slip past.
So strap in for what promises to be one WILD year!

I plan to provide some special gifts at the "S.A.M. P.A.#1 ANNUAL HOUDINI GRAVESITE CEREMONY" in 2026. Also, add some additional time to the 100th Yahrtzeit too with some interesting displays at the Machpelah Cemetery.

With all of the hooplah surrounding Dick Van Dyke's 100th birthday last month, the most amazing and mind-boggling part of it for me was realizing that Dick Van Dyke was alive when Houdini died.
