Overview
After picking up a library book on Harry Houdini in the seventh grade, Arthur Moses became enamored by the magician's skill and bravado. The book sparked his collecting bug and over the past several decades, Arthur amassed an historic and valuable collection dedicated to Harry Houdini. Arthur shares the amazing story of how a chance phone call led him to a sidewalk stand valued at $100,000, and teaches Lisa a few of Houdini's tricks with a straight jacket used in his famous escape act. Magic historian and professional magician, Ash Adams, wows Lisa with his valuation of Arthur's collection. He also offers to make a trade with Arthur - some contemporary Houdini collectibles for a piece of Houdini history.
