Description

Volume 12 includes an article from the ongoing column on magic and magicians in Australia, and the announcement that Max Malini has become the 1000^th member of the SAM. There is also a list cities announcing where Houdini would be appearing on the Orpheum Circuit, from December 31^st to May 13^th, as well as a wonderful article by T.Nelson Downs about working on the same bill with Houdini in Germany, then seeing him perform again 21 years later. A detailed description of Houdini’s act as performed for more than 500 children in San Francisco is very interesting because he does the Egg Bag, Die Box, and other non-escape magic. Then comes an account of the 19^th annual SAM banquet, with the largest attendance to date. Naturally there are editorial notes by Houdini, and the minutes of the monthly meetings.
