If you're on social media you've no doubt encountered FaceApp (which may or may not be a Russian plot). People have been using the photo filtering app to see what they'll look like when old. I'm in no rush to see my older self, but I've always been curious what Houdini would have looked like had he lived to old age. So I took a photo from 1926 and ran it through the app. Here's old Harry. I think he looks great!
If you're curious, here's the original pic. This was taken during his trip to testify in Washington D.C. in May 1926.

ReplyDeleteIt's so sad he didn't live longer. It's a tad creepy because on Aug. 8 this year, I'll be as old as he was when he died: 52 years, 221 days (about 52 years, 7 months, 7 days). And here are some dates for a bit of Houdini fun:
