The largest apparent separation between Houdini and Thurston was their views on Spiritualism. Houdini spent tremendous amounts of time and energy exposing fraudulent mediums and spiritualists during the last years of his life. Thurston supported Spiritualism. While Houdini did believe in an afterlife, he felt that afterlife is so bizarre and unreachable that it has no relationship to our world and life. He saw the Spiritualist movement of his age to be a complete farce. Thurston, on the other hand, was friendly to the movement.
