You say that the three questions were "simple."
That implies that you are privy to what they were.
Do you mind sharing the three questions that were in the sealed envelope?
It's not about the magic; it's about the daily box office gross.
Re: Contacting Houdini's Ghost?
Doesn't Hardeen have grandchildren or children still living? If so wouldn't they, as blood relatives, be more closely related to Houdini than Jeff Blood who I believe is the son of Bess Houdinis niece? Why would Jeff Blood have a health question about Houdini, he doesn't share any genetic connection, unless it was about Bess.

Sorry, I saw no credit given to the real source and thought that the piece was of your own authorship.

Re: Contacting Houdini's Ghost?
At 1:26 pm this afternoon, Houdini's spirit asked if I'd post a couple things for him:
First, he said he "STILL really freaking HATE(S) phony psychic S.O.B.s"; and, "When I come back, I'm sure-as-hell contacting James Randi before I ever call a schmuck like Kim Dennis!".
P.S. He also said he and Dai love the Steve Cohen issue.

Re: Contacting Houdini's Ghost?
To clear up many questions.
The reason Jeff Blood was used is that is who the medium Kim Dennis, who has had her own TV show in Canada for three years, contacted. She wanted to get verification from Jeff that it was Houdini that she contacted.
While we have a lot of experience in these matters we did not want to get scammed on this or slip up and do something stupid so we contacted Randi as a precaution. Both Dorothy Dietrich and myself, Dick Brooks, also had several authentic Houdini letters that he signed that had she reached Houdini he could have told her some of the contents or who they were sent to, if she relayed letter info to him.
The question Jeff Blood asked was to have Houdini relay to her some information about a health problem in Jeffs family that Houdini helped with.
Since Kim Dennis chose not to consider the questions, to this day even we do not know what they are. They were in an envelope for her to open and answer. We did not know the questions ahead of time to keep the test clean.
Even Randi did not know they questions as they were picked at random, from a long list of questions that Randi put together, again to try to keep the test as clean as possible.
