Bill Kalush doesn't holdout
The mighty William Kalush, author of The Secret Life of Houdini and founder of the Conjuring Arts Research Center in New York, has posted to Instagram this dynamite photo of Houdini demonstrating a Keplinger Holdout. Can't say I've ever seen this particular shot before. Very nice.

John I have that picture
ReplyDeleteReally? Oh my. I would love to see your collection some day, John.
DeleteThe one time I visited the Houdini museum in Scranton over 10 years ago the person who was giving us the tour pulled out a mechanism similar to this from an old trunk and said it belonged to Houdini. Could this be the same apperatus?
ReplyDeleteWow, I wonder if it was? Maybe Dorothy or Dick will post.
