Recently The Magic Café posted a tape of Randi accusing me of breaking the bust of Houdini back in 1975. I found it laughable and I think I know more about this than Randi. All of this will come out in time.
I do know a very high official in the world of magic knew this was going to happen before it happened and yet it was not stopped. Why? Because this was not about smashing a bust. That was to throw off the real intent. It was about searching for a compartment covertly that even insiders wanted checked but did not want a certain magic circle directly involved. I wrote about the compartment which led up to this attempt to check that area. I was also threatened not to talk about a lost vault.
People in magic stood by and let it happen because they wanted to know if a compartment was really there. Then this whole thing was covered up because of what it involves. This was not the first time people have checked for a vault and another team went in in the 80s and another team with more modern equipment will be going back in covertly in the future.
Now I wonder how Randi can prove his charge? This should be interesting as there is so much more to this. One post said my stock answer has always been maybe I did it maybe I didn't. My stock answer has always been that there is a cover up. I never "sent" anyone to break in as suggested. If I want something done I will do it myself.
