Dean, expertly researched. I have been a Houdini fan since I saw the Tony Curtis movie in the mid-60s. The movie may be embellished but it did start my interest into the field of magic and magicians. This podcast is the best that you have ever done, and you have done many good ones. You have put so much time into this that I consider you a true scholar of History and magicians. Thank you so much for doing this I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed it. I also agree with your comment at the end.

Ted Annemann is a fascinating character that I would have never known about if it were not for The Magic Detective. Thank you Dean

Wonderful! I finally caught up on your latest. I appreciated your comments on suicide- I knew Darryl and a couple other friends who went that route. Always sad and shocking 😒 so nice to make it through a pandemic with you brother!

Fantastic episode- I’ve listened to it twice. I can tell what a fan you are of Doug as I believe this is your longest podcast yet and I know there’s more to come! So cool we both appreciate his style of magic immensely, and we both got to see him live. That makes my life complete 🧐thank you for this awesome and informative entertainment Dean!

Great story telling! That 40 minutes felt like 10. I can see why Byron Walker enjoyed this so much. A coincidence I listened to this the day after you told me the doorbell story. And the haunted rings... so cool!
