Amongst other stories it relates closely the controversy surrounding HoudiniÕs appearance at the Palace Theatre, Blackburn in October 1902 when he faced one of his severest challenges from William Hope Hodgson, who was to go on to be a writer of fantasy literature before his death in the First World War.
