<spoiler>The answer is: HOUDINI</spoiler>
<spoiler>The sky-writing clue is 263-, which suggests a phone number.
Rather than the numbers on the cards, one pip on each card is clickable and turns the card over.
If you index the pips:
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
 
... the clickable ones are in positions 8, 7, 7, 4, 7, 8, 6.
 
Calling (877) 263-4786 gives the following message:
 
OK, I am officially impressed! good job finding me.  To solve this clue, tell me what disappeared on Halloween 1926 at 1.26 a.m. Room 401.
 
The answer is: HOUDINI (who died at that time and place)</spoiler>
