Charles Greene III on The Magic Detective Podcast

This is a must-listen podcast with our friends Charles Greene III and Dean Carnegie. By now, I'm sure everyone's aware of Charles's book, Exposing Houdini, in which he shares a collection of rare glass negatives that seemed to appear like magic. Now Charles believes he's traced the origin of the negatives to a man named Richard Silmser. You can listen to the full tale below.

At the end of this podcast, Charles mentions that I might have the answer to his "mystery photo." While I'm still not 100%, I will share my info on page 444 of my upcoming book, Handcuff King: The Conquests of Harry Houdini, 1900–1909, along with the original glass negative in the Jessica Jane Peterson collection.
