The Phony Houdini Seance of 1936 was used as a publicity stunt to push Bess Houidini's forthcoming movie RELIGIOUS RACKETEERS.....
They promised Bess that she would make a million dollars in a movie that obviously inspired Ed Wood! http://www.wildabouthoudini.com/2012/01/......ers.html They had invested over $200,000 in the movie (about $3 million in todays cash). Bess' roommate, who called himself Dr. Edward Saint (not his real name) was part of the production. When the movie was released it was met by an immediate legal threat of fraud. When the owner of the theater chain was contacted he wired Houdini's partner Saint in an effort to see why Houdini had signed a statement verifying contact with the dead. Saint refused to reply and the picture RELIGIOUS RACKETEERS was pulled from the theaters. Houdini lost a fortune. They later attempted to reclaim some money by modifying the film and renaming it MYSTIC CIRCLE MURDER. Saint (not his real name) is now buried in an unmarked grave.

And Bess Houdini lost a fortune because of it.

I'm so glad you now see them as FACTS, since some people have tried to dispute them .. Indeed they are facts!!! Are you complaining about FACTS or just facts about Houdini?

A question disguised and used as a way to misrepresent anothers viewpoint is the most egregious form of lie and a tactic he uses regularly.

I implore you to stop your trolling.... PLEEZE Danny!!! ..... Like that?
Really? If you can't handle that then the internet is not a place for you. The point here is that Bess Houdini was not taken advantage of by Arthur Ford .... She was totally dominated by Dr. Edward Saint (Not his real name) He invested the Houdini fortune in a movie starring Bess (For like 4 minutes) promising Bess she'd be a Hollywood Star and make a million dollars. That's why they hoaxed the 1936 Houdini Seance and the phony recording of it. Pushing the RELIGIOUS RACKETEERS movie.... Unfortunately people like to say Dr. Edward Saint (not his real name) was looking after Bess (15 years older than Saint) and the Houdini fortune ... In actuality .. He was SPENDING IT!!!!! I'm not saying he wasn't promoting the Houdini brand .. HE WAS!!!!! Because as the brand grew every slip of paper, every signature, and every pamphlet was worth more and more.... Poor Bess.....

If they invested over $200,000 in the movie (about $3 million in todays cash) then I don't know what they spent it on, as this film looks like it was made with a $50 budget.
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

Why does Slim (not his real name) think it's so significant that Edward Saint didn't use his real name?
What does that have to do with anything? And as far as the nonsense goes about him being buried in an "unmarked grave" (the plaque either sank or was taken) the fact is that he was interred under his real name, Charles David Meyers, in Hollywood Forever cemetery. You can find out a lot about him, and who he was, here: http://www.geniimagazine.com/magicpedia/Edward_Saint http://www.wildabouthoudini.com/2012/01/......int.html The last link contains a video in which I was happy to see my Magic Castle friend Lisa Cousins join the search for Saint's grave. |

Slim you are the only Troll here and a fairly pathetic one at that. Nobody paid attention to your childish antics in Penny so you tried to invade the Sleepy forum and nobody even answered you and your bs. Now you are here.
I thought you were not going to rest until you had the Believe show shut down? Hasn't happened even with all your threats!!!!!! I guess that was a LIE on your part huh? Funny Chris is still working and here you are still trolling. Go figure.

These sort cheap films then were being made for about $5,000 and so who told you "They had invested over $200,000 in the movie (about $3 million in todays cash).."?
