Cato Holler's Halloween Haven, AKA Houdini Hole: A Subterranean Tribute to a Great Magician!

Where have I been?

Been too long since I’ve been here. Short excuse; My disabilities have increased and I’m mostly a wheelchair guy now. Leaves me bored, and makes me slower than ever. Gripe, grumble, complain. Right?

Memories of Howard Hale

I was going through some old props and I ran across a couple of amazing pieces by Howard Hale. An amazing woodworker and an amazing magician. It's too bad he left magic. He was such a great ambassador of the art.
