A Magician Among the Spirits

For more than twenty-five years, Houdini investigated séances, mediums and extraordinary claims of supernatural phenomena. First published in 1924, A Magician Among the Spirits recounts his remarkable encounters, examining everything from spirit photography to ectoplasm.
Along the way he explores some of the most famous names in the history of Spiritualism, and recounts his celebrated clash of beliefs with his friend Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of Sherlock Holmes and a passionate believer in communication with the dead.
A Magician Among the Spirits remains one of Houdini’s most important historical works.
