Houdini spent much of 1924 making his case against the practices of fraudulent spirit mediums as an author, scholar, and lecturer. But at the start of 1925, he came out swinging as a skeptic, crusader, and showman. He went from puffing a pipe to breathing fire! It started with an exposure of "Margery" at Symphony Hall in Boston on January 2nd and 3rd. Houdini told his audience, "This is not only a lecture, but a very important night in my life."
Below are some clippings related to Houdini's important night.
Symphony Hall in Boston still stands today and doesn't look all that different from how it looked when Houdini took the stage one hundred years ago.
