Oscar Schutte Teale (September 9, 1847 - April 8, 1934) was an American architect, magician and writer.

[2] He wrote a series of articles on magic and debunking spiritualism in the Sphinx magazine in 1925.

[3] In July 1925 it was alleged that Houdini and Teale visited the offices of Houdina Radio Control and damaged most of the furniture by smashing them against the floor and walls.

[4] A summons for disorderly conduct was issued against Houdini but the charges were dropped because George Young the manager failed to appear in court.

[7] When Houdini's book A Magician Among the Spirits (1924) was published, Teale stated that he had written "the damnable work".
