Nice interview by James M Keller for the New Mexican with Misty Lee, one of our favorite theatrical magic performers and staff séance medium in the Houdini Room at the Magic Castle..
Pasatiempo: As the séance medium at the Magic Castle, you should be in a position to know: Is the Magic Castle haunted?
