The Houdini Code

SYNOPSISHarry Houdini, world famous magician and escape artist was also known for exposing fraudulent mediums. After his death, Bess Houdini announced that through a medium she received a message from her late husband. The press went wild with this shocking revelation, then just as quickly Bess recanted. There were allegations the whole thing was a hoax. Was Bess Houdini an innocent victim or as some speculated was she in on it? Now a century later Houdini’s fame is undiminished, but even the memory of what may have been his greatest trick has all but disappeared. What really happened? How did this extraordinary story simply vanish from history?
