Hope he's doing well.<br /><br />So we've definitely established that this was Steve's Can. But if he did work on The Great Houdinis, there still could be a possibility that his Can was somehow used. <br /><br />Obviously, don't trouble John Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04391313393222271260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732721553418878547.post-55146023214442551232015-09-14T17:28:11.162-07:002015-09-14T17:28:11.162-07:00I wish you had posted this yesterday, as I talked ...I wish you had posted this yesterday, as I talked to Steve for a while on the phone. This is his can. Joe is correct, it was sold to Tony Clark. I could even tell you for how much, LOL. I have video of Steve performing the milk can. Steve also told me he was working with The Great Houdini's movie folks at one point but I don't think it was long. In fact, he told me something about Glaser Carnegiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10142955905272650610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732721553418878547.post-67446392571449017982015-09-14T11:04:17.078-07:002015-09-14T11:04:17.078-07:00You know, I might be crazy, but I recall someone o...You know, I might be crazy, but I recall someone once telling me Steve had some kind of involvement with The Great Houdinis, but was never credited.

One thing that's odd is it's a non-working can. Why would Steve have/build a non-working can?<br /><br />Think it's possible he got it from The Great Houdinis production? I'm still clinging to that hope. :)John Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04391313393222271260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732721553418878547.post-68139212323410978512015-09-14T09:40:01.083-07:002015-09-14T09:40:01.083-07:00Tony Clark purchased the Milk Can from escape arti...Tony Clark purchased the Milk Can from escape artist Steve Baker.<br /><br /> It was Baker's Can.
