24: Houdini and The Medium with John Cox

Scamapalooza with Nicholas J. Johnson

Harry Houdini was not just one of history’s most famous magicians he was also obsessed with death and the afterlife, dedicating years to uncovering the truth about life after death. Mina Crandon was a spirit medium who claimed that the ghosts she communicated with could ring bells, float tables and throw trumpets across rooms. On this week’s episode Jon Cox from from the website Wild About Houdini tells the incredible story of Houdini and Crandon’s battle of wits and the extraordinary lengths the would-be psychic went to prove she was the real deal. Scamapalooza will return in 2016.
