LINK: Dunninger tells dramatic stories about Houdini’s Death

Our friend Joe Notaro has added the October 26, 1952 Parade Magazine to his collection. This issue contains an article about Houdini and Joe Dunninger by Hy Gardner. Many wild tales here, but are any of them true? This one is a must-read, so click on over to Harry Houdini Circumstantial Evidence.

    No--those were wild tales. Dunninger learned well from his mentor HH: Promote yourself ruthlessly and keep dishing out the stories.

    It’s a quote from the end of the movie: “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance”

    It sure isn't my philosophy. Try: "The truth matters."

    Protagoras famously stated, “Man is the measure of all things,” which encapsulates the idea that individual perception dictates reality. So everyone tells their version of the "truth"
