All of the Houdini Nay-Sayers should be forced to watch this video where the ledger comments about Houdini's act...

ReplyDeleteBTW: The Recently Discovered Ledger Link references the Yorkshire evening post which incorrectly makes reference to him performing at the Leeds Varieties way back in 1904. It was actually 1902 when he performed during the week of Dec 1 to Dec 6 and the week of Dec 15th to Dec 20th. He received a percentage of the takings. Also, Dec 4th, 1902 is when Houdini escaped from Charles Peace cell during his first visit to Leeds.
