Scottish Rite Journal reveals Houdini the Mason
The January-February 2021 issue of Scottish Rite Journal, a magazine devoted to Freemasonry, has a cover story about Houdini's involvement with the Order. "The Sorcerer's Entered Apprentice" is written by Maynard Edwards and is well researched.

A well written article! According to the writer near the end of the article, HH performed a charity benefit show in 1926 for a crowd of 4,000 at a Scottish cathedral. Not in the 1926 Chronology.
ReplyDeleteHmmm...looks like I don't have a date for that. :(
DeleteYou might remember this post where you mentioned that Scottish cathedral performance for 4,000. I can't find the date on the web so far:

Yeah, I suspect the author of this article and I are both sourcing the Mill Valley website, which I believe is sourcing the Knights Templer article from 1988. Still need a precise date and to confirm that it actually happened.
DeleteWell written with some errors in dating but I understand. The new info comes on the last page with Houdini's name being listed in the Mason Book for swearing in and accepted as a member. Also, the "Invisible Lodge" is mentioned. At a past SAM Annual Convention, the above lodge was holding a meeting and asked me to join to become a member. However, I did not join due to my Judaic principles. The above issue Jan/Feb. issue also, discusses the Kabbalistic tree with its eminations which defines "what we as Jews strive to live up to." An article "hidden" within an article. Like to get a copy of this journal. Benjilini
