The movie shows a seance of automatic writing with Lady Doyle (played by [[Judy Geeson]]) and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (played by [[[David Warner]]). They both knew Houdini. The relationship between the Conan Doyles and the Houdinis is faithful to reality (friendship and disagreements), however very shortened in 5 minutes.<br /> <br /> <br /> __TOC__<br /> <br /> <br /> == Photos ==<br /> <br /> &lt;gallery mode=&quot;packed&quot; heights=&quot;250px&quot;&gt;<br /> File:1998-houdini-schaech-harry-houdini.jpg|&#039;&#039;Harry Houdini&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;([[Johnathon Schaech]])<br /> File:1998-houdini-schaech-conan-doyle.jpg|&#039;&#039;Sir Arthur Conan Doyle&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;([[David Warner]])<br /> File:1998-houdini-schaech-lady-doyle.jpg|&#039;&#039;Lady Doyle&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;([[Judy Geeson]])<br /> File:1998-houdini-schaech-bess-houdini.jpg|&#039;&#039;Bess Houdini&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;([[Stacy Edwards]])<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> == Cast ==<br /> <br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Harry Houdini&#039;&#039;&#039; : [[Johnathon Schaech]]<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Bess Houdini&#039;&#039;&#039; : [[Stacy Edwards]]<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Sir Arthur Conan Doyle&#039;&#039;&#039; : [[David Warner]]<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Lady Doyle&#039;&#039;&#039; : [[Judy Geeson]]<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Blackburn&#039;&#039;&#039; : Paul Sorvino<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Esther&#039;&#039;&#039; : Rhea Perlman<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Theo&#039;&#039;&#039; : Mark Ruffalo<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Mrs. Weiss&#039;&#039;&#039; : Grace Zabriskie<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Booking Agent&#039;&#039;&#039; : Ron Perlman<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Jim Collins&#039;&#039;&#039; : Karl Makinen<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Usher&#039;&#039;&#039; : Frank McRae<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Beck&#039;&#039;&#039; : George Segal<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Young Houdini&#039;&#039;&#039; : Emile Hirsch<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Samuel Weiss&#039;&#039;&#039; : Curt Lowens<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Street Vendor&#039;&#039;&#039; : Jack McGee<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Sweatshop Foreman&#039;&#039;&#039; : David Moreland<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Warden&#039;&#039;&#039; : Jack Knight<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Kaiser Wilhelm&#039;&#039;&#039; : Jack Marston<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Fraudulent Medium&#039;&#039;&#039; : Karen Hartman<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;German Stage Manager&#039;&#039;&#039; : Endre Hules<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Radio Technician&#039;&#039;&#039; : Martin McDougall<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Doctor&#039;&#039;&#039; : Michael Gallagher<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Dancing Woman&#039;&#039;&#039; : Laura Pallas<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Journalist&#039;&#039;&#039; : David Bickford<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Montreal Student #1&#039;&#039;&#039; : Daren Flam<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Montreal Student #2&#039;&#039;&#039; : Jeffrey Pierce<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Policeman&#039;&#039;&#039; : Tom Michael Bailey<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;1st Volunteer&#039;&#039;&#039; : Bill Moynihan<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Detroit Police Officer&#039;&#039;&#039; : Rob Elk<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Young Theo&#039;&#039;&#039; : Joshua Breslow<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Reporter #1&#039;&#039;&#039; : James Barbour<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Reporter #2&#039;&#039;&#039; : Ralph Meyering Jr.<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Reporter #3&#039;&#039;&#039; : Jeffrey Cox<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Reporter #4&#039;&#039;&#039; : Kevin Shinick<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Street Magician&#039;&#039;&#039; : Haruo Shimada<br /> <br /> <br /> == Crew ==<br /> <br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Director&#039;&#039;&#039; : Pen Densham<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Screenplay&#039;&#039;&#039; : Pen Densham<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Casting&#039;&#039;&#039; : Gary Zuckerbrod<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Music&#039;&#039;&#039; : Don Harper<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Theme&#039;&#039;&#039; : Mark Mancina<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Film Editor&#039;&#039;&#039; : William Hoy<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Production Designer&#039;&#039;&#039; : Jerry Wanek<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Director of Photography&#039;&#039;&#039; : Gordon C.
