Biography
Bob has lectured on Houdini to Hollywood superstars Catherine Zeta Jones and Guy Pearce, and claims to have held her hand (okay, okay, and Guy’s as well)! Although recently appearing as himself in Lorna Gibb’s novel A Ghost’s Story, he insists that he is definitely not a figment of her imagination, but would love to be a cartoon character.
In the magic world Bob is:
- A feature article writer for The Magic Circular
- Editor of The Magical Spectator
- A Magic Circle Librarian
- One of only three Honorary Associates of the Inner Magic Circle
- President of the Association of International Magical Spectators
- Holder of the Order of Merlin Excalibur of the International Brotherhood of Magicians.
In 2016 Loomis published new information on Houdini in his book, Houdini's Final Incredible Secret.
