Answering a Request for Dorothy Dietrich Information
We received an inquiry from a young magician/magic fan, Angela.
My name is Angela and I am 12.
I chose Dorothy Dietrich as the person I wanted to do my report on due to her being so interesting. I am unable to find information on her needed for the report (birth day, hometown, ect.)
Can you point me in the right direction for articles that might help me?
Thank you so much.
Huge fan,
Angela
Thank you, Angela. We are huge fans of Ms. Dietrich as well.
Some have said we're obsessed.
We don't care what others think because we like those people who like us first — so we have few friends but that's okay.
Sorry, we went off the campground there for a second.
Here are some links to some of the many stories we've written about Ms. Dietrich, Dick Brooks and their incredible Houdini Museum in Scranton, Pennsylvania.

Eight Letters for Great Magic Attraction
 |
| Dorothy Dietrich |
True magic fans knew the answer to 23 Across in this Sunday's New York Times Crossword Puzzle. It was an eight letter word with the clue "Home of the Houdini Museum."
Give up? We thought it was a metaphorical question and said, MEMORIES.
That's why we never finish crossword puzzles — that and we are like a spider monkey with ADD sipping Red Bull and No-Doz.
If the clue read, "Location of the Houdini Museum" or "Town in Which Houdini Museum is Physically Located" we would had this one cold.
SCRANTON is the answer.
We can't believe we thought it was MEMORIES. What were we thinking?
Dick Brooks and Dorothy Dietrich own one of the finest museums in the magic world. It is more than just a bunch of Houdini's tricks thrown into a room and exposed to the world. The Houdini Museum in Scranton, Pennsylvania is an act of love.

Derrick Burts Begins Nationwide Tour
Magician Derrick Burts is
profiled for his magic and great heart.
Wednesday morning, Mr. Burts heads out on a nation-wide tour entertaining and
raising money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
Mr. Burts hits all the right chords with us. The Leukemia & Lymphoma
Society is an outstanding organization and we know from personal experience how
supportive and essential the Society can be. Magic is, well, magic for us.
The young man — he is a mere lad of 19 years — became addicted to Magic at
the age of seven. A shop-owner rubbed his a nickel into thin air and produced it
from Mr. Burts' ear.
