 * Hi, I'll start reviewing this one. SlimVirgin (talk) 02:01, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

Article length good, hook length good, hook is interesting, sources for the hook are good, creation date good, no sign of copyvio or close paraphrasing.

Images: The main image is fine. I'm not so sure about File:Robert Houdin Ethereal Suspension.jpg, which needs information about first publication, authorship or something, to show that it's free.

Some sourcing issues that I think need to be fixed:
 * This ref seems to be from the EB 1911 so that should be cited.
 * Magicpedia is a wiki that anyone can edit so that shouldn't be used as a source.
 * AllAboutMagicians.com says that it takes its information from Magicpedia, Wikipedia and the Encyclopedia of Magic and Magicians. The third one sounds okay, so that should be used as a source instead.
 * Not clear what www.pcsorcarmagician.com is.

 * Thank you for the heads up on these. I'm hoping to get this sorted out in the next day or so. Storye book (talk) 09:47, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Okay, sounds good. SlimVirgin (talk) 20:59, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I believe I have now corrected all of the above. I've done each correction in a separate summarised edit, in the same order as above, to make it easy for you to check. Any more problems, please let me know.Storye book (talk) 13:15, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg That all looks fine. Just a minor thing: it would be helpful to add a page number (p. 25) to the file page for File:Ethereal Suspension Robert-Houdin 1849.jpg in that publication. Anyway, thanks for the fixes and this looks good to go. SlimVirgin (talk) 21:16, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Done. Thank you. Storye book (talk) 21:22, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
