Among the Gods

Here's another photo re-share from my 2013 series of unpublished images provided by our good friend John Hinson. This shot shows Houdini and Bess posing with a group of fellow travelers at "Balanced Rock" in the Garden of the Gods National Park on January 4, 1916. Houdini was appearing at The Burns Opera House in Colorado Springs at this time.


Balanced Rock still exists today and is a popular stop and photo op for tourists. Besides being an amazing natural phenomenon, we can now add: Houdini was here!


Discovering Houdini's appearance in Colorado Springs was an exciting find. You can read more about that and see a collection of clippings as a member of my Patreon below.


Thanks to John Hinson.

      Adrien Brody: Houdini! You gotta come to the future! History channel failed you!

      Houdini: *blinks in confusion*

      Adrien Brody: I’ll explain on the way to 2014! *a TARDIS materializes*
