Houdini and his collection are reunited at the Harry Ransom Center

Eric Colleary, Cline Curator of Theatre & Performing Arts collections at the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas in Austin, gave a lecture on "Houdini the Collector" last Wednesday. Below is a shot of the stage a very nice tweet from Eric. I'm honored.

My thanks to the magic community for all their feedback and stories over the years. Especially to @HoudiniWild, whose been such a generous supporter of the work being done here and who I’m dedicating this talk to. Thanks John!
