Not sure where I should put this. All Tied up, or Feminine Mystique, but decided here. This was shown quite a few times in Europe including the BBC, and then Biography Channel in the USA picked it up and has shown it many times. I have some spare time and are looking for videos to put up. Also looking for the "You Asked For It" of Dorothy doing the Bullet Catch, and the several in Montreal, Canada, French TV, "Autobus Du Canada" of the Bullet Catch, Sawing a MAN in Half, and The Vampire Illusion if anyone out there has them. She did three shots for the Canadian show and was the highest paid magician ever to appear on Canadian TV. They promised us copies of it, and as sometimes happens they never followed through. This is the blurb I put up with the YouTube listing. Dorothy Dietrich continues the legacy of the original Houdini Seances. The Houdini seances were originally done by Bess Houdini for 10 years after the legendary magician's death in 1926 on Halloween. When Bess stopped doing the seances after 10 years, she asked Houdini biographer and friend Walter B. Gibson to continue the legacy as an honor to Houdini. Mr Gibson was also the writer of the the famed series "The Shadow". Mr. Gibson did them for many years at The Magic Towne House in New York City the city where Houdini lived most of his adult life. Before Mr. Gibson died he passed the honor, responsibility and legacy to Magician / Escape Artist Dorothy Dietrich. She currently does them each year on Halloween at The Houdini Museum in Scranton, PA, often with members of the Houdini Family who also sanction the seances. Interestingly Dorothy Dietrich was born on Halloween. Dorothy Dietrich is the first and only woman to accomplish the Catching of a Bullet in her mouth, often called "The Jinxed Bullet Catch" and under strict test conditions. At least 12 men have died attempting this feat. Ms. Dietrich also holds the World's record in several escape categories. Dorothy Dietrich is often called "The Female Houdini" , "The World's #1 Female Magician" and was the first to be called "The First Lady of Magic". Columbia University Press and Encyclopedia called her "one of the most noted magicians of the late 20th century." http://DorothyDietrich.com or check out her page on wikipedia. Dick Brookz
