Maybe all I've seen is his $100 challenge for cuffs he can't escape. Very cool. <br /><br />This really is an awesome poster, isn't it? But it just kills me to think of all the other great posters that we'll never see.John Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04391313393222271260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732721553418878547.post-67989174664990010472014-09-17T10:40:57.857-07:002014-09-17T10:40:57.857-07:00How cool that this poster features a real cuff, li...How cool that this poster features a real cuff, like the more famous Europe's Eclipsing Sensation poster.John Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04391313393222271260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732721553418878547.post-8483442316287719142014-09-16T22:06:45.993-07:002014-09-16T22:06:45.993-07:00Exactly, a Maltby!Exactly, a Maltby!Carnegiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10142955905272650610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732721553418878547.post-127767569393356032014-09-16T17:03:50.818-07:002014-09-16T17:03:50.818-07:00Notice the stipulation where Houdini invites you t...Notice the stipulation where Houdini invites you to bring your own "regulation" handcuffs. That's the first time I've seen that in a poster, or any other Houdini advertising. I also agree with John that its purpose was to advertise Houdini on his American debut after hitting it big in Europe. He's already advertised as a prison breaker.Leo Hevianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732721553418878547.post-6124704971635719382014-09-16T16:12:27.233-07:002014-09-16T16:12:27.233-07:00A "MALTBY" flat-key model handcuff :-)...A "MALTBY" flat-key model handcuff :-)<br /><br />(Good one, Dean..I didn't notice it)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10460176017803990044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732721553418878547.post-41093626483194501522014-09-16T15:25:05.845-07:002014-09-16T15:25:05.845-07:00Great find.
