Yes. I'm looking forward to the results. It makes sense that the "mystics" would have been out to get him; he made them look ridiculous.

Especially interesting to me because I am a fan of Arthur Conan Doyle's Holmes mysteries and always been fascinated by his Spiritualist mania.

Notice I said mania and not dabbling. He was hardcore.

In the Houdini biography, authors William Kalush and Larry Sloman detail a November 1924 letter in which one of the movement's devotees, Sherlock Holmes author Arthur Conan Doyle, said Houdini would "get his just desserts very exactly meted out ... I think there is a general payday coming soon."

Things that make you go hmmmmmm.
