The Magic of Harry Houdini by Looking Glass Podcast published on 2015-11-16T16:25:37Z Welcome to the pilot episode of the Looking Glass. A program that examines the stories behind personal interests. This episode will explore how the recommendation of a grade school teacher, a parent, and a book opened up the world of magic to our guest. Well, to be more specific: “The world of Harry Houdini”.

There's no other copy in the library in the world... There must have been thousands when they were printed, except now there is only one copy left.] I would love to see these digitized! 2015-11-18T16:18:41Z Comment by mattmaldre As Peter says, "I'm always amazed how one everyday occurrence can have life-changing consequences." Sarah teaches about this in her literature class. She calls it a pivot. In fact, in one of our first emails to each other before we met, Sarah and I talked about pivots. :) 2015-11-18T16:03:48Z
