Speaking of graves, I'm heading out today with my fellow Houdini cohorts on an expedition to find a Houdini notable whose final resting place as been a bit of a mystery...until now. Watch for it this week.

Link: Tracking the Body of Houdini
Superb blog today over at Carnegie: Magic Detective about the journey Houdini's body took following his death in Detroit on Halloween 1926. A few details here that are new to me. Click the headline to have a read.
Thanks again Joe. Man I wish I was going with you guys on the grave hunt!
ReplyDeleteWe couldn't find him. :(
DeleteA great article by Mr. Carnegie. I suspect the Elks Clubhouse is no longer there because Dean supplied an illustration of it instead of a current photo.
ReplyDeleteI thought Houdini was embalmed when his body was returned to New York City. I now know it was done in Detroit.
