100 years ago at Battery Park
It was 100 years ago today on July 15, 1914, that Houdini performed an overboard box escape off New York's Battery Park before a crowd of 15,000. It's an escape that, while well-represented in photos, receives scant attention in most Houdini biographies.
Back in February I did a blog all about this escape. So on this 100th anniversary, I invite you to revisit that post. Or if you missed it, you can enjoy it now. Click below and go:
