 In the latter part of his life Houdini began a maniacal crusade against the then hugely popular fad of spiritualism and seances. He spoke out against mediums and their supporters whom he labeled shills and collaborators. Listen Houdini examines the intricacies of the real life relationship between Houdini and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, a firm believer in the spiritualist movement. Both men suffered from tremendous feelings of personal loss and both held a burning desire to speak to those that they had lost. Doyle introduced Houdini to many famous psychics only to have their simple tricks publicly debunked. In Listen Houdini, Doyle presents the beaten down and aging Houdini with Margery Crandon -- the last contender for the title of genuine Medium. Through this final test, the interior terrors of both men's desperate lives are revealed. Using these amazing, historical characters Axis brings to life the unprecedented period of the golden age in New York City.
