Not mentioned in TFA, but here's a fun Houdini fact I learned recently: shortly before he died, he commissioned H.P. Lovecraft and another writer to collaborate on a book debunking religious miracles. It was to be called <i>The Cancer of Superstition</i>, and apparently an outline and a few chapters did get written, but after his death Houdini's widow didn't want to pursue the project.<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cancer_of_Superstition" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cancer_of_Superstition</a>
