Houdini was the avowed enemy of phony mediums and Spiritualists. However, I've also heard that he and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle attended a seance together in a good-faith attempt to reach Houdini's deceased mother: and that Doyle considered it successful, but Houdini wasn't convinced that whoever or whatever spoke to them was really his mother.
In any case, this would indicate that, at least initially, Houdini was willing to accept the possibility that mediums could contact the spirit world.
