Frances Willard and Glenn Falkenstein
Frances Willard is an American female magician, famous for her performances at The Magic Castle and in Las Vegas. Willard and her husband Glenn Falkenstein are a popular mentalist team.
Willard, the daughter of magician Harry Willard (1896–1970), began performing as a teenager although she had assisted with her father’s Willard the Wizard shows as early as age six. Her first illusion was reminiscent of the Davenport Brothers’ box illusion, a trademark illusion that she and Falkenstein continue to perform.
Watch Frances Willard and Glenn Falkenstein perform the ‘Spirit Cabinet’.

Dear Mr. Warlock,
Having seen your rope trick demonstration on the web, I wonder if it is the Davenport Brothers’ famous knot.
I am the great granddaughter of Ira Davenport and the granddaughter of Ira Davenport. Aunt Zellie was a important part of my very young life as was her brother, Ira, my beloved grand father. I spent much time at his hotel on the St, John’s River,in Florida in back of the property. Aunt Zellie lived across the road.
Also, I spent time at the house at Mayville , N.Y. Houdini also visited there as is referrd to in his autobiography, devoting chapter 2 to his relationship with Ira , SR.
Any info you could share would be reatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Dixie Davenport Rudolph
