Original Miami Beach Antique Show Jan. 4-8 features nearly 700 vendors

The top lot at Potter & Potter’s Winter Magic Auction is this Houdini-Slade-Weiss Locked Book. The tome was created by Remigius Weiss and used in a trial to expose Henry Slade, a supposed spirit medium. Years later, Weiss gave the book to his friend and fellow spiritualism researcher and debunker, Harry Houdini. The 19th century tooled black leather volume is accompanied by a handsomely framed collage of Houdini memorabilia at top right. Estimate: $10,000-$15,000.
