Thanks allot guys, glad you enjoyed the read. Its good to see some people still use the lost art of reading an entire post hahaha
Tumbleweed, I certainly see your point. But look at it this way, yes Houdini is remembered as "The magician" by people who have never read about him. By us magicians, however, he is remembered as the guy who stood up again false psychics and took a stand against charlatans who fooled people into thinking they could talk to the dead not for entertainment, but for greed. That is who Eric Weiss (Sp?) was and even though magic was a big part of his life and defined who he was for those that just look back on him now, those that care to know the man he truly was will see what his life was about.
Thanks again guys (who actually read the post)

p.s. Why would you perform control before you died? Just to scare the crap out of your friends and family and then go "Hey I was just kidding!" and then die again... for real...
