HAND SIGNED in 1993 by Marie Blood.

The delightful Marie Blood, niece of Harry Houdini, and the only relative (aside from Bess) to have appeared on stage with, and to have lived in the home of Houdini, passed away on November 2, 2004.

Marie wrote a portion of Pulitzer-Prize winning author Kenneth Silverman's biography on Houdini.

She lectured to the national conventions of The International Brotherhood of Magicians and the Society of American Magicians.

Along with David Copperfield, she introduced the popular HOUDINI POSTAGE STAMP, in New York, on the date the stamp was released to the public.

Marie participated in a nationally televised David Blaine publicity stunt (buried beneath a container of water), and was featured on other nationally broadcast Houdini-related specials including THE SEARCH FOR HOUDINI, hosted by Star Trek's William Shatner, as well as several episodes of television's INSIDE EDITION, and a nationally broadcast special, produced by Wisconsin Public Television.

Marie was also featured in TIME MAGAZINE, when she took part in the 50th annual Houdini Seance, in Appleton, WI.

The photograph offered, hand signed by Marie Hinson Blood, was created for appearances at shopping malls, theaters and magician's conventions.

If you had the opportunity to meet Marie at one of the national conventions, you carried away treasured memories of a unique personality, and special memories, not only of Magic's most famous performer, but of his wonderful niece.

Two great items for the one price.
