Travel Channel’s Mysteries At The Museum features magician Dick Brookz of The Houdini Museum for the forth time in the past four months. Dick Brookz exposes Houdini’s conflict with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.  TV host Don Wildman discusses the connection to the captivating portrait of Houdini’s mother.  The Travel Channel’s web site states, “Owned by a couple of seasoned magicians, the the Houdini Museum has helped put Scranton, PA, on the map with a veritable treasure trove of objects  related to the performer, such as mirror handcuffs, a collection of locks and a straitjacket. The most haunting artifact at the Houdini Museum is a piece from the magician’s private collection. It’s a portrait of a white-haired woman wearing a high-necked, black gown and a stoic expression. This photograph was the catalyst for a bitter tale that tormented the great illusionist right up until his untimely death.“
