Crossover Cover: The Society of United Magicians
In this story, which takes place in 1936, the
Shadow battles a group of corrupt magicians who are attempting to force Bess
Houdini to contact the spirit of her late husband Harry, seeking secrets he has
learned on the other side. A poster for Mandrake the Magician is seen in the
Society’s headquarters. It is also revealed that Houdini is the one who taught the Shadow the art of escapology.

I suppose I should mention that Walter Gibson knew Houdini and had been his ghostwriter.
