Harry Houdini Died on Halloween - a podcast by DC by Foot

Harry Houdini was a magician, an escape artist, a skeptic, and a showman. We wanted a spooky spectacular star for an October spooky episode, and Houdini put the spectacle in spectacular.
 


Join Rebecca and Becca as we talk about the life of one of the most famous magicians in American history, and, perhaps more importantly, an early crusader against con artists and frauds in the realm of Spiritualism (Check out our previous episodes on Spiritualism if you haven't already!)
