As a reminder, on my Patreon, I offer exclusive content not found on this blog, including material from archives and private collections, as well as my latest historical findings. For example, I recently shared a translation from a 1901 Dutch newspaper interview in which Houdini offers details about his time as a locksmith's apprentice that I've never read before. But do we believe it? This one has sparked a lot of conversation in the comments.
As a patron, you will also receive thanks in my upcoming book, Handcuff King: The Conquests of Harry Houdini, 1900-1909, a special preview of that book, and an exclusive pre-order opportunity. That's all coming later this year. Oh, and you'll also be supporting all my Houdini work, which is the point of Patreon: supporting creators.
So if you are wild about Harry, joining my Patreon is a pretty good idea this year. And what better time than during a month with a double reward? So come hang with us!
The Mystifier needs to be published in a bound volume. It deserves to be documented in book form. Good stuff from Sid Radner in there.
ReplyDeleteThat would be a great idea. But as you are a long time patron, just keep gathering them and you'll eventually have a searchable PDF volume. The Radner stuff is great, and also frustrating. He teases big things to come and they never appear. He was a master of withholding .
DeleteHa! I didn't know Sid was that cagey! The Mystifier PDFs are scattered in my phone's file section. A complete paperback volume would be nicer to flip through.
