While re-reading the superb book, The Houdini-Price Correspondance by Gabriel Citron, I stumbled on a nice little morsel of Houdiniana. In a letter Houdini writes to Price on December 26, 1924, he gives out this piece of personal information:
P.S. My private telephone number is Monument 8260.
So there you go. Houdini's phone number! Add that to your quiver of Houdini trivia questions.
Monument phone numbers were for those living in the vicinity of 100th street and west end ave. Is that anywhere near Houdini's home? I don't think so although I could be wrong.
I dialed it......recorded message...."Houdini has left the building " :-)
