His latest book, The Secret Life of Houdini, written with magic historian William Kalush, presented groundbreaking research that proved that early 20th Century American magician Harry Houdini was a spy. The authors also raised the possibility that Houdini had been murdered by a cabal of Spiritualists, prompting Houdini's great-nephew to call for an exhumation of the magician's body to test for poisoning. Sloman's other collaborations include Mysterious Stranger, with the magician David Blaine and Scar Tissue, the autobiography of the Red Hot Chili Peppers lead singer Anthony Kiedis.Executive Editor of National Lampoon Magazine.
