Renowned mystery author Arthur Conan Doyle and famous illusionist Harry Houdini first met in 1920, during the magician's tour of England. At the time, Conan Doyle had given up his lucrative writing career, killing off Sherlock Holmes in the process, in order to concentrate on his increasingly manic interest in Spiritualism. Houdini, who regularly conducted s ances in an attempt to reach his late mother, was also infatuated with the idea of what he called a living afterlife, though his enthusiasm came to be tempered by his ability to expose fraudulent mediums, many of whom employed crude variations of his own well-known illusions. Using previously unpublished material on the murky relationship between Houdini and Conan Doyle, this sometimes macabre, sometimes comic tale tells the fascinating story of the relationship between two of the most loved figures of the twentieth century and their pursuit of magic and lost loved ones.

Traditional Grown Man Shirt
Size: Large, Color: Light Grey Vertical Stripe
Great cotton, classically-style button down shirt for guys not wanting anything slim fit, this shirt size is legitimate. It’s a nice heavyweight cotton shirt. I don’t think I’d say it was wrinkle resistant but it doesn’t take much effort to press this garment.

Softer and Larger than Expected
I was a bit wary of this shirt because I had only purchased 100% cotton ones in the past. My first impression out of the package was how soft the material felt. I was very impressed because it usually takes many washings before oxford cloth shirts get that soft. When I put it on, I discovered that there was no noticeable difference made with the small amount of stretch fabric woven into the shirt. I suspect that there would be some give if I wore the shirt as a tight fit, but I prefer my shirts loose, so it wasn't an issue. I found that the shirt was larger than other same sized shirts I've received from Amazon in the past--bigger is better than smaller, but if you are looking for a close fit, you will want to be conservative in the size you order. I didn't realize until I'd been wearing it for a while that it lacks a pocket, I went to put my glasses in my shirt pocket and there wasn't one!

Beautiful Shirt
Color: Rose, Size: XX-Large
I love the quality, looks,and style I buy them for my husband. They wash well the only thing I don't know is how they dry in a dryer because, I hang his to dry but one thing for sure is that I don't need to iron them because they're not wrinkled and for me that's a win. I highly recommend them. One thing not all styles are true to size. I've bought 8 other styles the COOFANDY BRAND in XL they fit and hang beautiful but in this particular style, I had to get him XXL. My husband is 5'10 and 200lbs
