Press Release Summary: Kim Dennis starred in her own television series \"Antiques
Psychic\" three years on Canadian Learning Television (CLT) and the Access Network,
and is well known throughout Canada.

Press Release Body: Scranton, PA, August 29,2008 -- Canadian television, radio and
phone clairvoyant Kim Dennis contacted Mr. Jeff Blood, closest living relative of
the Houdini family, claiming she was in contact with Houdini and requested a
meeting. He decided to have the meeting at Scranton\'s famed Houdini Museum

Near the start of the meeting she asked if anyone had questions for Houdini. Mr.
Blood had a health question only Houdini would know, which she said she\'d answer
later, but never did. Dick Brooks brought out three questions sent by James Randi,
whose answers were in a sealed envelope. She would not consider the questions,
abruptly stopped, and angrily walked out, never to return. Dorothy Dietrich, event
organizer, said, \"We have it all on tape. If she were truly psychic she\'d have known
these questions were forthcoming. Many have tried to contact the great Houdini since
he died in 1926 but none have succeeded.\"

Kim Dennis later did not want to appear for a TV cameraman, from network affiliate
WYOU TV, who arrived later to interview her. She ran away up the stairs to the
parking lot and got in her car. She claims on her website, \"I travelled to heaven
where I was sometimes taught by a guide,\" but did not appear to have their help on
this occasion.

Attending this failed attempt were Jeff Blood, his wife and his daughter Bonnie,
along with his brother Forrest and wife, famous magician Dorothy Dietrich
http://dorothydietrich.com paranormalist curator Dick Brooks
http://mysteryentertainer.com professional videographer Ron Chicken and son,
magician and Society of American Magician\'s member Eric Lampert and family.

Mr. Brooks is currently starring in a show about the paranormal at the Houdini
Museum\'s Theater entitled, \"Haunted! Mind Mysteries & THE Beyond.\"

Ms. Dietrich has starred in a Home Box Office Special with Tony Curtis who played
Houdini in the movie about his life. She has done many television appearances
including Ripley\'s Believe It or Not, a Bill Cosby Special, Exploring The Unknown,
and Biography Channel\'s Dead Famous, TV Land\'s 100 Myths & Legends, Travel Channel\'s
Magic Road Trip and many others. Houdini\'s wife Bess attempted to contact Houdini
for ten years after his death, and then passed on the responsibility to Walter B.
Gibson, Houdini biographer and writer of the famous Shadow series on radio that
became a TV show and movie starring Alec Baldwin. Mr. Gibson then passed the
responsibility of doing the seances to Dorothy Dietrich before he died.
