There's a must read post today over at Carnegie: Magic Detective about Houdini and President Abraham Lincoln. Dean contends that Lincoln, not Robert-Houdin, was Houdini's true boyhood hero (and I concur).Click on the headline to read the interesting history of the Master Mystifier and the Great Emancipator at Magic Detective.
I wonder who got his Lincoln collection after he died?
ReplyDeleteVery good link - I can't post on Dean's blog for whatever reason.
