He was a lifelong friend of Harry Houdini.〔John Clucas Cannell. (1931). ''The Secrets of Houdini''. Dover Publications, Inc. p. 64〕 Goldston was the founder and president of the London-based Magicians' Club which he founded in 1911. ==Spiritualism== Goldston was one of the very few magicians to ever be converted to spiritualism.〔William Lindsay Gresham. (1959). ''Houdini: The Man Who Walked Through Walls''. Holt. p. 111 〕 He believed psychic phenomena and Spiritualism to be real, however, he also wrote that many mediums were frauds who used conjurer tricks. He summarized his views on Spiritualism in his book ''Tricks of the Masters'' (1942).〔Will Goldston. (1942). ''Tricks Of The Masters''. G. Routledge & Sons, Ltd. pp. 1-13〕
