On the 100th anniversary of Harry Houdini's passing, Ireland's
only escapologist is preparing to contact the legendary
illusionist's spirit from an old shoe shop in Limerick.

This week Joe takes a Ramble down south to meet Steve Spade, the
Irish Houdini. The conversation starts with card tricks at
weddings and dodgy hypnotists and ends with a plan to contact the
dead.

Steve's built a career on escaping things that could kill him.
The kind of stunts that have genuinely ended other magicians'
lives.

He talks Joe through how he got into it, the injuries along the
way, and the unwritten code escape artists live by.

There's also a wedding proposal at a magic awards ceremony, a
Houdini pair of handcuffs treated like a family heirloom, and a
seance planned in an old Limerick shoe shop to mark 100 years
since Houdini died.

Joe, for his part, remains deeply unconvinced by magic in general
and is still trying to figure out how his uncle took off his
finger. Explicit.
