DIARY BOOK COVER REVEAL! (update)

Today, I'm thrilled to reveal the cover of my upcoming book annotating Houdini's first travel diary. I think you will all agree, this is magical.


Dear Diary: The Hopes, Dreams, and Secret Loves of Harry Houdini is at the printer and on track for a late summer 2025 release from Mike Caveney's Magic Words.

UPDATE: Just an April Fools Day joke, folks. But it is true that the book is at the printers and will be out this summer. 👏

    2. I see you can click on the picture for further confirmation, if still nervous. (And since John describes "some" of this as true, I do have to wonder if Patrick Culliton "openly wept" as claimed, or if that's just fictional blurb-talk.)

  4. A joke I imagine Harry would have appreciated.

    Houdini and Monticup walk into a bakery.
    Monticup palms three donuts with one hand and puts them in his pocket without anyone noticing.
    He says, "Houdini, do you see how clever I am? I make donuts disappear at will!"
    Houdini responds, "Not bad, not bad at all."
    Houdini then goes to the bakery owner and asks him if he wants to see a magic trick.
    Houdini proceeds to ask the baker for a donut, and then eats it.
    Houdini asks him for another one, and then eats that one as well.
    Houdini asks him for a third one, which the baker reluctantly gives him.
    "So what is the magic trick?" the baker says. "I gave you three donuts already!"
    "And I made them disappear" says Houdini.
    "No, you didn't. You ATE them!" says the baker.
    Houdini responds, "Oh, really? Go check Monticup's pocket."
