The Adventure of the Clouded Crystal
by Tim Kelly
Synopsis
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Houdini are dear friends although the issue of spiritualism often causes them to argue.
Doyle arranges a seance with a famed medium.
Houdini plans to expose the medium as a fraud, but he doesn't count on the woman's cleverness.
Sparks fly as the two battle with Sir Arthur and a woman reporter on the sidelines.
Ultimately, Doyle and Houdini have a stormy scene and the magician finds he must retreat before the medium's skill and intelligence.
They make a strange pact: to stay as far away from one another as possible.
If Houdini behaves, she won't reveal his secret-- he believes Sherlock Holmes is a real person.
