Well, I guess he didn't show......
But I found this:
Official Harry Houdini Seance on Halloween, Wednesday, October 31 At Henry Ford Museum's Anderson Center Theater
Seance Marks the 75th Anniversary of Escapologist's Death
DEARBORN, Mich., Oct. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- This year marks the 75th
anniversary of the death of magician Harry Houdini, who died on Halloween 1926
at Detroit's Grace Hospital from complications of a ruptured appendix. This
Halloween at 8 p.m., the Official Houdini Seance will take place at Henry Ford
Museum.
"Ever since Houdini's death, seances have been held to attempt to contact
him," said seance organizer Sid Radner. "Our seance carries on this
tradition. If it were possible to return, Houdini believed he could find a
way."
The setting for the seance will be the Anderson Center Theater inside
Henry Ford Museum. Attendees will see a documentary on Houdini and then the
"circle" will form and the seance will begin. Attendees are in for a rare
experience, as the annual seance is rarely opened to the public.
An impressive group of Houdini experts will assemble in an "inner circle"
to provide knowledge, support and energy in the attempt of contacting this
famous magician. The inner circle includes Radner, a protege of Houdini's
brother, Hardeen; Marie Blood, Houdini's niece; Jim Auer, president of the
Houdini Club of Wisconsin; Dr. Morris Young, Houdini author and expert; and
representatives of the American Museum of Magic and the Houdini Historical
Center.
The Reverend Ray Fraser, a spirit medium will conduct the actual seance
assisted by his daughter Wendy Fraser-Bailey.
"If Houdini were able to make contact, this is the group who would know,"
says Radner.
In addition to their collective knowledge, the group will bring mementos
and items Houdini used during his lifetime. Among these, Radner will present
the "seance handcuffs" which are particularly significant.
"Houdini told his brother that if he were ever able to return in a
material way, he would open these cuffs. The pair is unique in the world and
has a mechanism that is extremely complicated. If (the cuffs open), I'd be
convinced of his presence," said Radner.
The program is sponsored by radio station Q95-5 -- Detroit's Hit Music
Leader. Tickets are $9.55 and are available at the door. Proceeds from the
ticket sales will go to the Clear Channel Relief Fund benefiting the families
of firefighters and police officers of New York City.
