Is it safe?
Check out this file photo of Houdini emerging from a safe that sold yesterday on eBay for $168 (with 12 bids). The photo is heavily touched up, but still nice as it's an uncommon shot. The only other place I can recalling seeing this is in Kellock's Houdini His Life Story. There it is credited to the White Studio, N.Y. Congrats to whoever nabbed this rarity.

That photo looks fake. Also, when did HOUDINI escape from a safe?
ReplyDeleteThe photo is heavily retouched, but it's real. There's another photo taken at this same time. Houdini escaped from a safe at the Euston Palace in the UK in December 1908. This appears to be later, so I'm not sure if this is real challenge escape or just a publicity image.
