We explore the life of Houdini and his challenges to Spiritualism. We hear about the Fox sisters communication with an entity named Splitfoot; Houdini’s early life as a circus performer; his friendship with Arthur Conan Doyle; and, eventually, his exposure of various frauds from the world of Spiritualism. Was Houdini the victim of a death curse?
