We had the good fortune of connecting with Robert John and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Robert, we’d love to hear about a book that’s had an impact on you.
The Unmasking of Robert – Houdin : By Harry Houdini : Annotated 1878 Press. “I’m a firm believer in understanding the origin of all things, let alone one’s Artistic Craft. Some things are not always what they seem to be and an expose’ of that is evident in this provocative read. Startling waves of what actually happened in the times of Harry Houdini’s Magic rein are annotated by Houdini himself. With a posh praise to Robert – Houdin, (to whom Houdini adopted his stage name,) immense study was embarked upon on the attainability of the inventions the Clock-Maker himself cteated. Secrecy is the heart and soul of true Magic, and the exposure of Robert – Houdin’s genius entails the resurface of material dating back to the late 1370’s, to which Robert – Houdin used in performance. For it to take the best Magician and entertainer in Show-Business to find out the actual truth of his life long idol & role model, speaks volumes on this particular predecessor. To this very day, Magician’s, Actors and Artist alike have studied or came across this specific area of expertise in the timeline of history and growth. ” – Robert John Magic
