  2. Thanks, Boris. There are a lot of things like this floating around online, but I thought this was unusually good. Worth the post. Unfortunately, news clips like this don't get a long online life. They will probably take it down in a week or so.

  3. I thought Houdini only had two water cells? One destroyed and the other in a private collection. I see one being shown on the floor.

  4. That's a reproduction on display.

    And there was really only one finished cell. That was the one that burned and was restored and is now in the Copperfield Collection. The other cell was a backup that may have never been assembled. It decayed in the backyard of the Blood family, according to Pat Culliton.
