When Houdini died a hundred years ago, he was working on a book about superstition and the occult with two of his well-known friends. The book was finished but was never published. It has been lost, until now when the grandson of one of the authors, who had the original manuscript, agreed to have it published.
As you know, I like to get the books I offer you autographed. Since Houdini, Eddy, and Lovecraft are no longer with I us, I had to settle for the publisher David Haversat.
►The Cancer Of Superstition:
The Cancer of Superstition is a book Houdini was writing at the time of his death with C. M. Eddy Jr. and HP Lovecraft. A week before Houdini died on Halloween of 1926, he was in communication with C.M. Eddy Jr. and was enthusiastic about the project’s completion. However, as Houdini’s condition worsened at Grace Hospital, his wife Bess sent Eddy and Lovecraft a telegram telling them to stop.
Nearly 100 years later, the complete manuscript in the archives of C.M. Eddy’s grandson has surfaced! With special arrangements with Alchemy Productions, Houdini’s last book has finally been published.
A highlight of this book are the many rare Houdini photos and artifacts from the collection of David Haversat that are reproduced in full color.

►BACK IN STOCK:
The Piatt Envelopes were very good sellers for me and were also very difficult to make. I stopped producing them for various reasons and was happy when I discovered the Tyvek Himber Envelopes. In many ways they are better and less expensive. I just got a bunch of 2-packs.
►Tyvek Himber Envelopes:
Basically, this is a double-sided envelope that is made to look the same on both sides. You can have predictions on each side for multiple out routines or switches. You can also use it as a coin envelope since that is what it most resembles.
It is made to hold poker size cards and is slightly larger than a card. The overall size is 2.75” x 3.75” and can comfortably hold up to two cards on each side.

PS: If you tried to place an order in the past couple of days but had trouble, it was because a new security feature to the site was too strong. Should be fine now. Seems that all of the orders with stolen credit cards originated from Turkey.
