Ep. 115 The Unmasking of Bess Houdini
Episode 115
Sunday, 12 April, 2026

Join me as we explore the life of Bess Houdini, the one time stage partner to her husband Harry. And later the woman who helped to keep his legacy alive. Her life is mostly glossed over in the biographies, but today you'll learn a few stories, some sad, some charming, and some courageous about this tiny (she was under 5ft) yet dynamic woman! #besshoudini For those wishing to check out my Houdini art and related prints, visit Carnegie-magic.myshopify.com ExposingHoudini.com by Charles Green Escaping Obscurity book by John Cox and Dr. Bruce Averbook A Strenuous Career book by Dr. Bruce Averbook and David Haversat
