I've started an Indiegogo crowd-funding campaign to finance the release of a book of true magic. The book is split into two halves. The first half is a fictionalised account of a true story when Houdini engaged in a battle of wits (and fists!) with English escapologist Carl Mysto. It's a fascinating story and one that is full of drama, mystery, and magic. The second part of the book is a selection of routines and presentations loosely based around the story. These are all-new routines, and will only ever see the light of day in the pages of this book. I'd greatly appreciate it if you could share the project on your Facebook page and elsewhere, and of course would be delighted if you chose to help fund the project. It works a little like 'pre-ordering', which we're all used to in the magic world!

The link to the Indiegogo page is: http://igg.me/at/whenwizardswalked/x/4343253 where you can also read the full story, watch a video etc.

Day one nearly over! Well on the way to making the target! Appreciate any help you can give by sharing on social media etc. Also, appreciate any pledges too!
