As we know, Houdini has graced the cover of Genii many times (18 by my count). I've gathered a complete collection of these issues, so in celebration of Genii's 75th, I thought I'd kick off a new series on my blog, "Genii & Houdini", in which I will take a look back at each of these issues inside and out.
First up is issue #2, October 1936.

Re: Genii & Houdini
Nothing?
Well here's another. Even if you're not into Houdini, it's cool to see these old covers and the old Genii logos, etc. This one also includes a nice quote from Bill Larsen Sr.

Re: Genii & Houdini
Just an update. I'm several issues deep into this series. Gotta say, going though these old Genii's is great. Some real gold in here.

Re: Genii & Houdini
Thanks Richard. I'm glad you're enjoying these. It's interesting to see just how much was first revealed in Genii. The 'King of Cards' poster for example.
