LINK: The Houdini Wonder Show

The great Dean Carnegie of Carnegie: Magic Detective has dug in and uncovered some hitherto unknown details about "The Houdini Wonder Show," which Dean correctly points out goes unmentioned in most Houdini biographies.

The Houdini Wonder Show consisted of four traveling magic companies that offered up live shows before screenings of The Man From Beyond (Houdini himself appeared at some locations). Dean has the details and also the stories of the magicians who headed up each of the Wonder Show units.
