Later in 1911 Houdini complained about Carrington's handcuff escape article. Regardless if Houdini had worked on Myra he would have howled it to the moon like he did most things. He rarely ever passed up Steve Rivkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02087866077365014047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732721553418878547.post-20165443299565448692012-10-27T11:53:24.937-07:002012-10-27T11:53:24.937-07:00I suspect Milbourne Christopher simply decided to ...I suspect Milbourne Christopher simply decided to trust some bad information on Houdini that was likely given to him verbally. I can well understand why it may have seemed believable looking back. Hereward Carrington's involvement and key roles are without question and largely well documented. I have even see a crude scetch of the cults outfit robes that was done by Carrington, he was Steve Rivkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02087866077365014047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732721553418878547.post-15470962033488756452012-06-26T22:38:11.618-07:002012-06-26T22:38:11.618-07:00Sounds like we made the same journey, Joe.

Silverman’s “Notes to Houdini” confirms that his reference came from Milbourne Christopher, “Houdini A Pictorial Life”. I then combed the internet and either found references to him being a technical consultant or it being erroneously reported thatJoe M.
