Tales of Old 21 – The Magician Who Knew Bosch, Beethoven and Houdini, or, The Magic of Money

Summary: By J.J. Steinfeld Read by Shawn Robertson He was in his own league, without equal, incomparable, so what if his so-called peers never once voted him “Magician of the Year." As much as he has personally liked Harry Houdini and as greatly as he had admired his magic and escape artistry, being referred to as “The Second Houdini” or worse yet, “One of the greatest magicians of all time,” never ceased to upset Elias Crosskeep. He was the greatest magician, the only real magician. Art by Gabriel Hardman Closing music: Married a Magician by Dust Poets J.J. Steinfeld's book A Glass Shard and Memory
