It's a shame we don't have many of Houdini's thoughts on the historical events of his lifetime. For example, we don't know what he thought of the Titanic disaster or the Black Sox scandal to name a few. But we do have his thoughts on the discovery of King Tut and the supposed curse. This was all the talk in 1923 after the death of the excavation's financier Lord Carnarvon. So what did the Master Mystifier think?
Check out this article from the April 7, 1923 Los Angeles Examiner and find out.
The "curse" did go on to claim a few more victims, and while Houdini did not live to see the full events play out, he would be happy to know that Howard Carter, the man who opened Tut's tomb and should have been #1 on the hit list, lived a relatively long life, succumbing to cancer at the age of 64.
