I have been busy the last couple of months putting together my new seance production, and its ready to roll. - here is a link to the new website that several Café members helped with some editorial contributions.
Take a look at the website and let me know what you think, please remember the theme story is not historicly factual. The link; http://www.hauntedseance.co.uk/ Thank you guys! Steve. |

The website is nice. The date of Emily's disappearance may be a little over the top though.

I really enjoy the simple elegance of the site. Honestly, I haven't had time to fully analyze the story so I can't give you much info on what I think of it. On the surface, it looks neat.

The site is elegant. A problem I have is how can Emily be Houdini's grand daughter when he and Bess were childless? Sure as the devil someone, sometime, will bust you for this. Houdini is not that obscure.

In one segment of the introductions,Emily is claimed to be Houdini's grand daughter, in the introduction of Emily she is said to be his Great grand daughter.
And yes, the 6-66 connection is a bit much. Well constructed site. |

I truly do love the site. Like those above me, the simple elegance and continuity of the Ouija board make this a nice experience overall.
That said, I do have to second what Robin stated above. There have been a few throws back to Houdini over the last decade or so that would have put him back in the public eye (the TNT made-for-TV film, the autobiographies;) possibly exploiting some fact that the two never bore children. Perhaps due to his affairs as hinted on in "The Secret Life"... Best of luck with the production, though. I know I'd love to catch it regardless of the histrorical mumbo jumbo.
Things are about to change........ LIGHTS!!!

Love the site and think the idea for the show is inspired.
I think the Emily story works especially if you carry over the 'reputed to be' Houdini's granddaughter from the 'About' page to the 'Emily' page. It then has an 'Anastasia' feel to it - maybe she was - maybe she wasn't. And I personally don't think the date is of any concern. People like cliches. It makes sense in a seance context for a significant spiritual event to occur on a numerically significant date. Destiny |

Thank you all for the compliments about the new website.
We put this site together in quite a rush in about 8 days, so some historical facts were missed, - bad research. I will now set about changing the story a little, in view of Harry and Bess Houdini having no children, let alone grandchildren - I certainly overlooked that ! - maybe Emily could be a great grandaughter of a secret affair. I like the date, but yes its a little cheesey. Steve |

6-66 is fine if you are doing a spook show
Illegimate lineage of Houdini is fine either way (seance or spook) - however, Houdini is so connected with busting seances, if you are going seance versus spook - why not make the person the descendent of someone really creepy - like Crowley.... The site looks nice!

Great minds think alike! I like your use of the Ouija Board. We use the board in our post cards for marketing. I was thinking of having t shirts made with our Ouija Board. You can see ours at http://www.houstonseance.com.
Is this for private bookings only? Do you offer a public performance? Jamie Salinas

Hi Jamie,
Private bookings only. - But next year I will be hiring haunted locations and advertising it for public performances etc. The Ouija board was the idea of my graphic artist James at jdesign, if you look carefully you will notice the ghostly image of Emily fading in from the bacround of the Ouija board, I think he has done a great job of the site.

Steve,
Let me know how the private bookings go. We have focused on public performances only. I am hoping to do the private sessions this year and yes I did notice the image of Emily. Well done and good luck! I suggest you have a few trial run throughs with a real lay audience mixed with some Magic friends that can give you honest feedback. Jamie
