You can never be certain on a story that he has given on how much of it is fact, fiction, or a combination of the two.<br /><br />Case in point, the famous story about Houdini being fooled by the "Bloodless Vivisection". On the same bill, Dr. Lynn more than likely presented his box trick that he copied from Michael Pascoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10314595383329719714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732721553418878547.post-25620642854518823642014-03-02T12:04:28.047-08:002014-03-02T12:04:28.047-08:00Of course, if this were the case, he would have st...Of course, if this were the case, he would have still been living in Appleton since it wasn't until December 1882, that Mayer moved his family to Milwaukee.Joe M.

I wonder where the age 8 came from? Depending on the source, the ages seem to range from 8 to 12.Joe M.

David Saltman has accounted for Dr. Lynn's whereabouts during the entire time frame that makes sense, but, in 1882, Dr. Lynn is in America and three months later, he is England. During that time, there is no advertising or mention of Dr. Lynn in the available Milwaukee papers.

Since Dr. Lynn was not in America at this period in Houdini's tween years, it makes sense that this performer was an imitator. I wonder if David found any advertisements for those Milwaukee shows from this imposter.<br /><br />It's doubtful Houdini's father could have afforded the tickets to Dr. Lynn's show. Is it possible Houdini caught Dr. Lynn'Leo Hevianoreply@blogger.com
