And that's why psychics have never been able to verifiably raise his spirit.

Yup. He clearly Ascended to something...

Sorceror Supreme?
Quantus:
Soooo, did a little research. He died of acute pancreatitis that he refused to treat, opting to instead travel on to the next town for the next show rather than have the immediate surgery the doctors told him he needed. Most believe that the condition was caused by an incident the week before where a "fan" got backstage and wanted to test Houdini's reputed "invulnerability" by more or less walking up and repeatedly punching Houdini in the abdomen while he was sitting on a couch. By separate accounts Houdini wasnt so much ambushed as surprised by the number and strength of the guy's punches.
So if this was an ascension ritual, it was a damn weird on. Seems more like he got sacrificed to someone(thing?) :P

How's this: he already had power via some kind of deal, but his end of the bargain was to spread his name and fame, and performing in shows was part of the deal, which is why he chose to do that instead of get life-saving help.
