Did the world’s greatest magician take on psychics in Congress? In 1926, Harry Houdini testified in Washington to outlaw spiritualist fraud. What he said—and what happened next—might surprise you. In this episode, we tell the story of Houdini's efforts and then speak with United States Congressman, Mark Pocan.
Congressman Mark Pocan was sworn in as the U.S. Representative for Wisconsin’s second congressional district in 2013 following 14 years in the Wisconsin State Assembly. A small business owner, union member, and advocate for progressive causes, Rep. Pocan fights for policies that promote economic and social justice and support the families of south central Wisconsin.
Rep. Pocan is also a magician who uses magic to educate his constituents on what's going on in Washington with his weekly Magic Mondays.
