Harry HoudiniHarry Houdini Signed One Page Letter With Original Photos Display.Signature Royale SKU#PRJK2377-SProduct DescriptionHarry Houdini was the world’s leading Illusionist and stunt performer. Houdini’s versatility became evident as he also became an actor, historian, film producer and aviator. He vociferously defended his craft and won many legal victories against those who doubted or pirated his stunts. He escaped from handcuffs; he was buried alive, tied up in straitjackets e scaped from chains, locked up in jails, escaped a Siberian prison transport van; escaped Water filled milk cans; and held his breathe for over 3 minutes and escaped the Chinese Water Torture Cell. He thrilled and confounded audience for over thirty five years. Show here is a typed letter signed by Harry Houdini in black fountain pen ink. The letter is dated June 18th 1917 and addressed to Boston Columnist Edwin F Rice who was also founding member of both the Mystic Circle of Boston and the Society of American Magicians, forwarding two small black and white photos (also present) featuring Kit Clarke, Houdini and Rice. Kit Clarke at that time was the Editor and writer for the Society of America Musicians newsletter.
