Contacting Houdini?

This Halloween, The James Randi Educational Foundation, iTricks and WeirdThings.com present an experiment. In front of a live internet audience, a group of prominent skeptics and Magicians will try to make contact with the spirit of Harry Houdini, the world’s most famous Magician and challenger of the supernatural.
