Mitch, Marshall, and their Midnight Crew hold a Houdini séance • It works! • Except now Mitch and Marshall are trapped in History B • “I think Houdini fucked us.” • Houdini’s ghost finds himself caught on Doug Rogo’s tape recorder • Marshall gets gored by a kusarikku • Mitch finds a magical elixir bearing his doppelgänger‘s visage • The day is saved with memetics, hypnotism, and cocaine

Mitch and Marshall gather their ragtag band of misfits, weirdos, and occultists to summon the ghost of Harry Houdini.

Marshall and Mitch have drinks with J.B. and Louisa Rhine, who teach them all about their old friend Ehrich Weisz a/k/a Harry Houdini.
