The expert

Watch this bright young man deliver his school report on Houdini like an expert. Bravo!



Watching this I'm reminded of another youngster who delivered his school report on Houdini back when Gerald Ford was President. Sixth grade, Sunny Brea Elementary, Mrs. Buss' classroom. I'm sure I didn't do it as well as this bright lad, and I certainly didn't nail the facts as well as he does, but that day I discovered yammering about Houdini was something I loved to do. And I'm still at it today.

  2. It's curious that he says Bess was performing as a "singing clown" in Coney Island. Wonder where he got that from? Something about that rings a bell.
