Harry Houdini, the famous illusionist and escape artist, was actually really good friends with Arthur Conan Doyle, the famed writer of Sherlock Holmes, amongst other famous novels. And I really like that fact, I think because It gives me this feeling of... I don't really know how to put it. You might have better words for it than me. Sort of like a reality check, I suppose. Like it puts history into context for me a little bit. Sometimes you can imagine these famous figures as existing in isolation.
you never really think about them interconnecting.
But then you think, well, they existed in the same time, in the same place, so why couldn't they interact, intermingle?
And it's really interesting to me because they both formed a friendship around
their love of the mystical, the occult, and especially spiritualism, and this idea of the afterlife.
But they had radically different ideas about its legitimacy, which I guess is kind of exemplary of friendship overall, isn't it?
How two people can be so different and have radically different views about the world and yet for some reason they just come together and it works.
What lessons can we learn about friendship from Houdini and Conan Doyle?
Now the sad thing about Harry Houdini and Arthur Conan Doyle
is that eventually their differences would mean that they have a pretty bitter falling out.
Arthur Conan Doyle was a staunch believer in spiritualism and magic in general.
He was a true believer in make-believe, which some people find quite Shocking, I suppose, considering he is the creator of what has come to be known almost as the archetype of logical deduction, Sherlock Holmes.
