    The Brighton Hippodrome, mentioned at the end of the piece, still exists but has been disused and boarded up for the past decade; it's also where Houdini was presented with the silver replica Mirror Challenge cuffs in 1905. I'm a trustee of the campaign to save the Hippodrome and have organised several rallies and demonstrations to that end. As of this month there is a new owner of the building, and so once again the campaign is actively seeking assurances that the unique venue will be restored to theatre usage.
