The Houdini Mandate, from his book (Magician among the Spirits, Chapter 15), States that Magicians are to always protect the public from (Necromancy Seance Spiritualist, fortune tellers, or anyone, claiming to have supernatural powers, in-order to swindle money from weak or vulnerable souls; this includes Snake-oil peddlers and charlatan healers (that are collecting money via. using trickery); and it is his mandate, that every Magician should {EXPOSE} any Magic tricks. If either stolen, borrowed, or created, that are simply designed and used to harm or swindle the public in anyway. Only the true Magicians and Magi can fight on the public’s behalf to expose these lies. And how could we just ignore this task, when we can expose what is not truth? … That is The Houdini Mandate. Which is the first foundation stone of the order of H.R.K.
Note: Magic tricks are just S.T.E.A.M Tricks developed through creativity and real peoples wits, NOT (Supernatural abilities, and or any creation of Miracles) they are just tricks! …Tricks/Magic = Science/STEM… We just add in the PERFORMANCE ART to make the possible, only {APPEAR} as if it is the impossible! That’s called S.T.E.A.M. And it should never be done to steal money or harm the grieving or the vulnerable. Not even by the Mago or Magi’s enemy the Pharmaco or Pharmaci. “The potion maker”.
Christian? Sorry to disappoint folks, Houdini was a DareDevil at heart, he was not perfect in anyway, and as we all know, he was quite prideful. Houdini was not a Christian. …… However, … this is simply because, he was Jewish, and his father was a Rabbi; Therefore, Houdini had a very strong and good upbringing – a Godly Jewish moral upbringing, to be specific….this God respect was important to Houdini. He understood Magic feats were natural feats, things accomplished by one’s mental wit and prowess. Only God does or can do the Supernatural! (nuf said). This means, there is No Kingdom power filling up demons because they no longer are a part of God’s Kingdom. God cast all the fallen angels from His kingdom down to earth, remember. There is worldly occult power given to them by the uninformed and the Spiritualist, which can include even religious Spiritualists that ate so afraid they see demons on or behind every bird that flutters into the garden. This Means: demons only receive power through men and women of this earth that fear them and give them their power by believing that they are to be feared, But know this, they have No power over the Kingdom. Nothing can compare to the one Holy God. So nope, they have No real power other than their Lies, Deception, and stolen power over their Believers/Followers. Any young Magicians interested in Joining the Order of H.R.K and or the Fellowship of Christian Magicians? Let’s Talk.
