    1. Huh. That's interesting. I'll need to see if I can find that source. But HH did do the (Double Fold) Milk Can as late as 1924 during his first spirit lecture tour.

    2. Me: Harry! You’re 49 years old! Why not you settle down and chill?
      Houdini: Eh. Not dead yet!
      Me: Wait! Noooo!
      Houdini: (blub blub blub)
      🤣
