Magic Detective Updates and NEW Content for 2026

2026 is fast approaching and its going to be quite the year for The Magic Detective and me personally. Ive only shared this with a few people, but Im planning some new things for 2026. Now, Im always planning things, and some of them never come into being, some just get delayed, and a few happen, lol. 

There will be a new addition to The Magic Detective content next year. Right now there is the blog and the podcast. The blog seems like its lagged behind for a while and the podcast, it does well, when I can get an episode out. Its just that each episode is so time consuming to do the research. I dont use Ai, as Ive seen other sites use for their content. I break out physical books and magazines and do the hard research. I will of course use ask alexander and other online databases like newspapers.com and ancestry.com on occasion. But Im doing all the work. So with all that, imagine how crazy I am to add to my plate, lol.

There will be new content in 2026 strictly devoted to Houdini. It is the 100th Anniversary of his passing. And technically, it could have begun on Nov 1st of this year. But Im holding out till Jan 2026. I won’t yet reveal what the content will be. Will it be a book? Will it be another podcast, Hmm, Im not saying, but it will be 100% Houdini. Dont worry, I’ll still have the podcast where I cover other magic history figures. And I still plan to get the Harry Anderson podcast out before the end of the year. In fact, I hope to have 2 more episodes out before the year is up, so that my total is 10 for the season, the same as last year. 

Because there will be a big influx of content, Im also planning on starting a patreon page for anyone who would like to support the Magic Detective sites. I have some really incredible behind the scenes content to share with folks. Some big time bonuses for supporters. More on that later. More on all this later, lol. 

But for now get ready for more HOUDINI in 2026!!!!!
