9. Margery & Houdini, Part 2 - Phantoms or Frauds?

In the 1920s, Harry Houdini was on a mission to debunk mediums who claimed to communicate with the dead. This eventually led him to an extraordinary woman named Mina Crandon. Based on true events, Margery & Houdini relates how the most mystifying medium of her day and the most famous escape artist of all time came to meet each other - and how each struggled to prove the other wrong. In Part Two, Houdini announces his crusade against the fraudulent mediums of the world and gets pushback from an old friend, who thinks a spiritual reunion with Houdini’s mother might be just the thing to change his mind.
